It is part of a group of schools, including two prep schools (Ravenscourt Park Preparatory School and Kew Green Preparatory School), and it was the parents of children at these schools who urged the Directors to open a co-educational secondary school, first with Kew House and then later in 2020 with Maida Vale School. Kew House has almost 600 pupils.

Attain asked the school, what makes Kew House School different – and why should parents consider it?

Kew House School is a thriving, modern school that aims to deliver on young people's potential whilst reducing negative mental health impacts and engendering the skills, values and attitudes needed for our evolving world.

Personal tutors meet daily with their tutees, to "walk next to them", prompting them to consider the question "what can I do differently next time?" Reflecting on the lessons learnt is the key to building confident, able young people.

Our pupils flourish across the all areas of school life, from international sporting and cultural success, through creative arts, to academic success and post-18 pathways. The 2022 ISI inspection recognised the school's success by its "Excellent" judgement on the quality of education provided.

Head, Governance and Inspections

When reviewing details about a particular school, prospective parents should always ensure they have looked at the governance details, reviewed recent inspections and read about the Head's vision for the school. Find out more about how to read an inspection report, the role of the Head (and whether you need to like him or her!), the school's pastoral care provision, looking at what is taught through the curriculum and assessing the extracurricular opportunities on offer.
