I have a child at the school, and I would not recommend it to other parents. The standard of teaching is variable, but generally not good. It is not by any means an academic school, and caters mostly for those (often from abroad) who think that the idea of a posh little prep school with fancy uniforms is the best form of education. Terms are very short, food in the school canteen is lamentable (and has been the subject of much complaint from parents).

Outdoor playing facilities require a bus (a common feature of London schools)\n\nThe attitude of the school is like something from the 1950's but with far too much emphasis on the ephemeral and somewhat pretentious. OK if you happen to live local and the children are well-behaved - but the overall tone is self-satisfied, and the school's communications are literally larded with adjectives about how wonderful, how marvellous and how too too perfect the whole edifice is, rather as if they trying to disguise a cheap confectionery with more and more icing.\n\nThe response to criticism (often well-intentioned by parents who want the school to improve) is less about listening and changing and more about defending their position against all assailants.\n\nIn short, if you are a diplomat, or a yummie looking for a place which will be centrally located, and not ask too many questions or test the children, and you don't mind being persistently poached in a fairly mediocre bath of self-satisfaction, prior to your child actually being subjected to the real world of competitive 11+ exams, then Eaton Square Belgravia is the place for you. (You can even continue to pay them to take your children right the way to their senior school on Piccadilly).\n\nBut if you are looking for a school which strives for academic excellence or really engages with the educational process, then avoid.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"This is not a good school in my opinion.
