Overview

About Arden House

The Lloyd Williamson School Foundation is committed fully to equality regardless of culture, ethnicity, race, social background and religion. Parents meet the headteacher for a personal tour of the school to gain a real flavour of how the school operates. Registration requires a non-refundable fee and places are secured with a deposit. Pupils can book short term or long-term places from abroad. Parents may apply for a school place at any time of the year and for any age providing there are places available. Pupils are invited to have a 'try-out' day to spend time with the class they will potentially join.

Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Kensington and Chelsea for ages 3–18.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
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.
