They are a school for girls aged 4-18, located in South Kensington, on the edge of the capital’s educational and cultural heartland, the perfect place to inspire and indulge young hearts and minds. Their close-knit community of around 500 pupils is a special one. Their central London home affords them a diverse, multi-national intake, their size allows them to know every girl as an individual, and their desire to feel ‘unschooly’ is brought to life in touches such as their lack of uniform.
