About

We are a true microcosm of London, with a richly diverse pupil body drawn from both state and independent primary schools, locally and from further afield. Our central location, just a short distance from Baker Street, makes us easily accessible.

Our pupils commute from across the city, supported by excellent public transport links, including numerous bus routes and our close proximity to Baker Street station. Space in central London is limited, but we are fortunate to have Regent's Park right on our doorstep. Our pupils make daily use of its outstanding outdoor facilities for both sport and leisure.

Lunchtime outings are supervised for pupils in the Thirds and Lower Fourth, while those in the Upper Fourth to Upper Fifth may go out in groups of three. We also use Paddington Recreation Ground for athletics and hockey, with a smooth and reliable bus service transporting pupils to and from the site.

Our location offers unrivalled access to London's world-class cultural and academic institutions. Pupils across all year groups enjoy regular visits to cultural and academic landmarks such as the EY and BNP Paribas Headquarters, Westminster Abbey, and the Bank of England, enriching their learning with real-world experiences.
