My children went through Thomas’s Clapham and I can’t recommend it enough. Lots of lovely down to earth parents, nurturing and high calibre staff but most importantly a focus on kindness and co curricular activities as well as solid academics. Also really important - outstanding IT, we’ve moved out of London to another prep school and my son seems more digitally adept than most of the IT team at his new school! They prepared my children so well for senior school too which I think is an important consideration. I had one child doing 11+ And one 13+ (Same time as I have twins!) and they both got places at all the schools we applied for. Feedback was that it was the breadth of the sorts of things they were involved with (drama, dance, orchestra, choir, gymnastics) at school which helped them stand out at interview. We chose the Thomas’s C originally because the children seemed very happy when we toured and the breadth of activities on offer - as you never know what your 4 year old child will be interested in, in the future.
