Top private schools in South East London
Finding the right school for your child is not easy. Many parents start their search looking for 'the best' school but actually it is all about searching for 'the right' school. At the right school, your child will be happy and will thrive and may well perform better than at a highly academic school in which they could struggle and find it hard to be themselves.
Parents have a good range of prep (primary) and secondary (senior) level choices including coeducational options such as Eltham College, Alleyn's School, Colfe's and St Dunstan's College, which offer an all-through education. For girls-only, there is Sydenham High School, Blackheath High School and Bromley High School, which are all part of the Girls' Day Schools Trust (GDST), and James Allen's Girls' School. Dulwich College offers boys-only day and boarding places from 7 to 18 years (coed from age 2 to 7).
