The Lyceum School
London, Hackney, Greater London · EC2A 2DU
With just 121 pupils, The Lyceum School is a small independent prep in Hackney where children stay from Reception through to the end of Year 6. Its size lends itself to a close-knit community in which pupils are known individually rather than as a year-group statistic. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school 'good' overall and, notably, rated personal development as 'excellent' - a sign that character and wellbeing are nurtured alongside the curriculum. Compliance requirements were fully met.
