Arden House is a deliberately different independent senior school in the heart of West London, where academic ambition, social character and individual growth are given equal importance. We believe young people flourish when they are known as individuals, challenged to think independently and inspired to become the very best version of themselves. With small classes of 15 students, every child is known, heard and supported through exceptional teaching and genuinely personalised learning. Beyond the classroom, our unique approach sees students regularly engaging with the rich cultural, creative and professional opportunities of West London, developing confidence, curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them. At Arden House, we nurture confident, articulate and compassionate young people who are equipped not only with excellent academic foundations, but also with the resilience, empathy and independence to thrive in the next stage of their education and make a positive contribution to society.

Chapter House is the early years and primary school at Queen Ethelburga’s, welcoming children from 3 months to 10 years. Set within the school’s beautiful North Yorkshire estate, it provides a warm, family-oriented environment where children are encouraged to learn, explore and develop with confidence. The school combines a strong academic foundation with an extensive programme of experiences, including Forest School, swimming, sport, cooking and baking, music, performing arts and language learning. This breadth gives children opportunities to discover their interests and develop skills both inside and beyond the classroom. With a strong emphasis on knowing each child as an individual, Chapter House supports academic progress alongside wellbeing, independence and personal development, providing a positive foundation for the next stage of their education.

King’s Magna provides an inspiring and supportive bridge between primary and secondary education, offering students in Years 6 to 9 a broad and enriching experience. With specialist teaching, a diverse curriculum and extensive opportunities beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to explore their interests, discover new passions and develop their strengths. Choice is at the heart of the King’s Magna experience, with opportunities to explore academic, creative and sporting interests alongside the core curriculum. By Year 9, students are equipped to make informed GCSE choices and take their next steps with confidence at QE College.

St Chris School in Letchworth is a day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 3–18. We pride ourselves on doing things differently, providing an education suited to your child as an individual. Your child isn’t average, and their education shouldn’t be either. Curiosity over conformity What do we mean by ‘doing things differently’? We celebrate the benefits of an informal approach to education. Everyone is addressed by their first name, and the absence of a school uniform fosters individuality and encourages students to express themselves. This supportive environment helps students feel relaxed enough to achieve their true potential while working hard and consistently achieving strong results across academic and creative subjects. Our convenient Hertfordshire location means we are in close proximity to London, Cambridge and have a bus route reaching many local areas.
