Our take
Independent girls school in Merton for ages 4–11. Non-selective intake.
- Children aged 4–11.
- 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.
