Houseroom EditorialOur take
Houseroom Editorial
Our take
Independent co-ed all-through school in Barnet for ages 11–18. Selective entry.
Best for
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 11–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
- 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.
- 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.
