Our take
Independent co-ed all-through school in Camden for ages 2–16. Non-selective intake.
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 2–16) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
- 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.
