The Children's House School
London, Islington, Greater London · N1 4PB
The Children's House School is a small independent school in Islington, with around 119 boys and girls on roll. Its scale is one of its defining features: a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly eight to one means children are taught in an intimate setting where individual attention is the norm rather than the exception. Inspected by the ISI, the school is led by Head Ellie Grunewald and offers a small number of full and partial bursaries, with families actively encouraged to apply.

The last word
A genuinely small, close-knit Islington school where the low pupil-to-teacher ratio does much of the talking. The bursary offer makes it worth a look for families who might assume independent education is out of reach.
