St Philip's School
London, Kensington and Chelsea, Greater London · SW7 4NE
With just 78 boys on its roll, St Philip's School is among the smaller independent preparatory schools in Kensington and Chelsea, and that intimacy defines it. A Roman Catholic day school for boys, it offers the kind of close-knit environment where every pupil is known. Around 14 per cent of boys receive some form of SEN support, a figure that suggests the school is set up to give individual attention. The school is led by Headmaster Mr Alexander Thomas and inspected by the ISI.
