The school was founded in 2001 and is located in a residential area of Fulham. The premises are a large Victorian house that has recently been significantly extended. The school aims ‘to enable the children to achieve their potential academically as well as acquiring a good knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world around them in a non-pressurized environment.’ The school was originally registered in 2003 to provide part-time funded day care for children under three, nursery education for children under five years of age and full-time education for pupils from 5 to 11: although currently the oldest pupils are 8 years old. Many of the pupils are bi-lingual in French and English. The intended destinations for the pupils on leaving the school are independent day and boarding schools in London and beyond. The headteacher was promoted to the post one month ago and this is the school’s first inspection.
