Overview

About Maida Vale School

Maida Vale School is a warm and supportive community combining innovative teaching with state-of-the-art-facilities. We are ambitions for our students but are a greenhouse not a hothouse believing children fulfil their potential, personally and academically, when nurtured and inspired. We operate an ‘Open Door’ policy believing a child’s education is a shared responsibility, one that works best when all parties are engaged – school, parents and the students themselves. Entry is at Y7 or Y12 and admission is based on exams and interviews. MVS selects interesting, able and engaging students who will work together as a team supporting and inspiring one another.

Our take

Independent co-ed senior school in Westminster for ages 11–18. Selective entry.

Best for
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 11–18, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
