Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Islington. Non-selective intake.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
  • 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.
