Houseroom EditorialOur take
Houseroom Editorial
Our take
Independent co-ed all-through school in Hillingdon for ages 3–13. Selective entry, C of E ethos.
Best for
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–13) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families who value a C of E ethos in school life.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- 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.
