Our take

Independent co-ed school in Camden for ages 3–11. Non-selective intake, C of E ethos.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Children aged 3–11.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families who value a C of E ethos in school life.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • The C of E ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
  • 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.

Wellbeing

Emotional Support and Pupil Wellbeing All staff are available to support any pupil who wishes to discuss a worry, share a concern, or needs emotional reassurance during the school day. Creating a culture of openness and trust is at the heart of our pastoral care. We have a dedicated medical room that is accessible to all pupils and a designated First Aid Lead who is responsible for responding quickly to any health needs during the school day. This includes administering first aid and providing a holistic assessment and treatment of any illnesses that may arise. Pupils with long-term medical needs are supported through individual care plans and regular check-ins to ensure their school experience is not disrupted by illness. All teaching staff are trained in first aid, helping us to maintain a safe and responsive environment for all children.
