Houseroom EditorialOur take
Our take
Independent co-ed senior school for ages 7–18.
- Families seeking a senior school for ages 7–18, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Internationally-mobile families wanting IB or American-style qualifications rather than only A-levels.
- 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.
- Location detail is sparse in our profile — verify postcode and tube/rail link before counting on commute time.
