The Lloyd Williamson School Foundation
London, Kensington and Chelsea, London · W10 6EB
An independent, mixed school in Kensington and Chelsea, the Lloyd Williamson School Foundation has built a deliberately small community of around 75 pupils since its founding in 2000. Among its most distinctive features is an uncompromising approach to mobile phones: pupils, staff and even visitors hand their devices in on arrival, and they stay locked away throughout the day. With fees of up to £21,000 a year, the school suits families seeking a close-knit, low-distraction environment over the scale of a larger establishment. Headteacher Shirley Drummond leads the foundation, which is inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
The school offers A-levels and accepts pupils at 11+. Its headline GCSE figures sit well below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score recorded at 7.9 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils reaching grade 5 or above in English and Maths in the data provided. Given the very small roll, these figures can swing sharply year to year, so parents should view them alongside the school's individual approach rather than as a settled trend.
