Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Barnet for ages 4–18, day or boarding.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 4–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • 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.
