Devonshire House provides an outstanding education from nursery age through to entry to Senior Schools. Its staff nurture and care for the children throughout their time at the School. Devonshire House has fine premises, with spacious grounds, two onsite AstroTurfs and walled gardens.

Children can join the School’s Nursery, The Oak Tree Nursery, (ages 2½ – 3½), in Pre-Reception or Reception and at later stages, where vacancies arise.

Devonshire House has exceptional results, including for Senior Schools and in their Scholarship examinations. The School has strong links with Senior Schools and ensures every family has good advice about their child’s next school.

Broomwood Hall Upper School is our preparatory school for girls aged 8-13.

Times change, but our school’s philosophy has never wavered:

if a child is happy, they will learn and thrive.

We exist to provide a traditional, rounded education, tailored to meet the needs of the modern world, where our girls collaborate closely with the boys at Northcote Lodge. Our pupils are hardworking, focused and confident – and they relish the challenges and opportunities that Broomwood Hall Upper School provides. Visitors and staff alike seldom fail to notice the constant buzz of laughter and the sense of happiness that come from time and effort well spent. Our motto, ‘To do your best to be your best’ exemplifies the ethos of our school.

We are the only all-girls’ day school in South West London geared towards delivering outstanding academic success for entry to leading day and boarding schools at both 11+ and 13+.

Northcote Lodge is a single-sex prep school for boys aged 8 to 13 who collaborate closely with the girls from Broomwood.

We are a small school, with around 250 boys, and with no plans to grow significantly. This means we are big enough to field winning teams, but small enough to know all of our boys by name.

We are a day school in the heart of London. We adhere to traditional values that are as important today as they’ve ever been, whilst using the latest technological innovations to equip boys with the skills they need for a changing world.

Our motto, ‘Si je puis’ (I will if I can) – exemplifies our desire to give boys the confidence to know that by trying to do their best, they reap the rewards of personal satisfaction and achievement. During his time at Northcote Lodge, every boy should be able to find something he can shine at and thus know the pleasure in achievement – be it in the classroom, on the sports pitch, or in music and drama.

So while we’re rightly proud of our boys’ outstanding successes in Common Entrance, we’re just as proud of their achievements on the sports fields and in the music, art and drama that are embedded into our curriculum. Perhaps more than this, we measure our success, as a school, by the character and manners of our boys. We pride ourselves on being a friendly school that places importance on the traditional values that boys carry with them for life.  Things like kindness, compassion, teamwork and consideration for others – the basics of good manners.  We call this ‘The Northcote Way’.

Northwood Senior is a new, dynamic, co-educational secondary school in South West London, offering a transformational education for pupils aged 11-16.

We are academically ambitious: Our pupils enjoy an education that is rounded, stimulating and healthy – both physically and mentally; an education where good grades and GCSE success is still important – along with healthy competition in sport, drama, music and the arts, but where the focus is on developing the self; building reflective, community-minded young adults who have a passion for learning and the skill set and confidence to tackle the exciting futures that await them.  Our modern and stimulating curriculum includes thematic studies, maths mastery, hands-on science, and cross-curricular learning, alongside well-being, community work and life-skills – plus plenty of Sport, Drama, Art, and DT. Our innovative approach creates more active engagement in lessons, the development of higher order thinking skills, strong teamwork, and motivated pupils who are better able to develop the real-world analytical and problem-solving skills that pays dividends in examinations and the workplaces of the future.

We are pastorally kind: As a smaller school, what matters to us most is building a community in which children can thrive.  We have a strong and supportive tutorial and house system to ensure that every pupil is well known by every member of staff.

Entry is via Head’s interview, digital data, and references from current school. We offer regular taster sessions and All-Rounder Scholarships for both Year 7 and Year 9 entry.

Exit is to the next step that’s right for each pupil – whether that’s college or school to do A Levels, B-tec or something else.

If you are looking for a smaller school that offers outstanding teaching, where every pupil is known well by every member of staff and which can help them develop the confidence and skills required for the challenges of modern life, please come and see us.  We look forward to meeting you.
