About

Head's Welcome Welcome to Bassett House School. There's something quietly yet confidently wonderful about Bassett House. You sense it the moment you walk through our door: it is not in grand statements or a polished prospectus, but in the everyday, genuine warmth of our school family. We are a school with a big heart.

You hear this in the laughter of children who feel at home, and you see this in the genuine relationships that underpin everything we do. And, thankfully, academic-excellence and kindness are not mutually exclusive in 2025. Founded in 1947 and one of Notting Hill's oldest preps our school has successfully grown and evolved over the last eight decades.

We have an excellent reputation locally, with many Bassett pupils being the second generation in their family to learn here. This is because we are a school for children beginning their learning 2025. I lead a school that is forward-thinking, unstuffy and totally child-focussed.

Our teachers know their pupils well, and not just their strengths, but their quirks, dreams, and crucially their potential.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
