Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school for ages 3–16.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–16) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
Watch-outs
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Location detail is sparse in our profile — verify postcode and tube/rail link before counting on commute time.
