Our take

Independent girls prep school in Kensington and Chelsea for ages 4–11. Non-selective intake, top-tier London fees.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families looking for a prep school covering ages 4–11.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
  • Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
  • 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.
  • Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
