Houseroom EditorialOur take
Our take
Independent boys all-through school in Nottingham for ages 3–18. Selective entry.
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
