Houseroom EditorialOur take
Our take
Independent boys prep school in Camden for ages 2–13. Selective entry, catholic ethos, top-tier London fees.
- Families looking for a prep school covering ages 2–13.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Families who value a catholic ethos in school life.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
- Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- The catholic 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.
