Rosemead Preparatory School
London, Lambeth, Greater London · SE21 8HZ
Rosemead Preparatory School is a small, co-educational independent prep in Lambeth, taking children from age two through to eleven. With around 291 pupils on roll, it offers an intimate setting where the Independent Schools Inspectorate judged both the quality of education and pupils' personal development to be excellent. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet the ISI's compliance standards at its most recent inspection, a point worth raising directly with the school. Around 15 per cent of pupils receive support for special educational needs, suggesting a willingness to work with a range of learners.

The last word
A small, well-regarded London prep with excellent ratings for education and personal development, and bursaries of up to 80 per cent from Year 3 that widen access. The unmet compliance finding is a question parents will want answered before applying.
