Situated in two old houses, the school of 500 has a homely feel and caters for girls with a range of abilities.    This is not an academic hot house.  Onsite facilities are a little cramped, meaning music, art and sports provisions are less dazzling than similar offerings, and there is no outside space.  However, the school is well-placed to take advantage of what Central London has to offer and the Natural History Museum and Science Museum are just down the road. Around a quarter of pupils need some form of SEN support, mainly dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and autism. Assessment is through the 11+ London Consortium and involves a 70-minute cognitive ability test, a Head teacher’s reference and a 1:1 15 minute interview.   There are about 300 applicants for 60 available places in the Senior School every year, with an additional 20 girls also coming from the Junior School.  Most children go onto study at Russell Group Universities and about 20% each year will take their SATs to join an American University.  The school has a SAT consultant to assist in the entrance process.
