Houseroom EditorialOur take
Our take
Independent girls all-through school in Camden for ages 3–11. Non-selective intake.
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–11) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
- Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
- 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.
- Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.

The result is a secure and joyful environment for your girls. A valued addition to our team is Dexter, our school dog, who is very calm and patient and available for cuddles!
