Overview

About The Japanese School in London

The Japanese School in London opened in October 1976 and moved to its current location in Acton, Ealing, West London in 1987. The school building is a historic all-brick structure with facilities including an all-weather playing field, indoor gymnasium, and a large Japanese book library. The school promotes detailed educational activities under the goals of independence, contribution, and dignity, aiming to develop students who can learn independently and live strongly in an international society.

Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Ealing for ages 6–15. Non-selective intake.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 6–15) 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
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • 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.
