Blackheath Prep
London, Greenwich, Greater London · SE3 0NJ
A small co-educational prep in Greenwich, Blackheath Prep takes children from nursery age through to eleven, with around 388 pupils on roll. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded the school its top grade of 'excellent' for both the quality of education and pupils' personal development. It is worth noting, however, that the school did not meet the regulatory compliance standards at its inspection, which parents will want to ask about directly. Without a religious affiliation, it offers a secular environment for families across the area.

The last word
A small, well-regarded London prep with excellent academic and pastoral marks; the unmet compliance finding is the one point to raise on a visit.
