Award-Winning Prep School in London
Eaton Square Prep School is an award-winning, co-educational independent school for Pre-Nursery to Year 6, set in the heart of Belgravia. Our pupils are known for their confidence and warmth, from the handshake and “good morning” that greet every visitor to the strong 11+ results they carry into senior school.
Recognition from bodies including the Independent Schools Inspectorate and the Independent Association of Prep Schools, together with respected guides such as the Good Schools Guide, reflects what families experience every day: a school that blends genuine warmth with high standards.
Why Recognition Matters for Parents
Choosing a prep school is one of the biggest decisions a family will make, and it is natural to want reassurance beyond a prospectus. Independent accreditation, inspection reports and press recognition give parents an honest, external view of a school’s academic standards, pastoral care and facilities.
At Eaton Square, we welcome that scrutiny. Our accreditations and awards are not decoration. They confirm the same standards our pupils, parents and staff experience day to day, and they are a useful starting point for any family comparing prep schools in London.
Our Accreditations and Awards

Academic Excellence and Results
Our Year 6 pupils consistently achieve outstanding 11+ results. This year’s cohort secured 81 offers and 12 scholarships across a wide range of London’s top day and boarding schools, including Westminster School, City of London School, Godolphin and Latymer and St Paul’s Girls’ School.
As part of the Dukes Education family, Eaton Square pupils also benefit from a guaranteed place at a Dukes senior school, subject to availability, without needing to sit the traditional 11+ entrance exam. For many families, this means early acceptance in Year 5, removing the pressure of exam preparation and allowing children to enjoy their final years at prep school.
Why Families Choose Eaton Square
A handful of things set Eaton Square apart from other prep schools in London:
- The Launch Pad, our STEAM Centre, is the only facility of its kind in the world, combining an augmented reality sandpit, a dynamic floor and interactive projector displays.
- Small, attentive classes mean every child is known individually, not just by year group.
- Our pupils represent 43 nationalities, giving the school a genuinely international, cosmopolitan character.
- Our academic pedigree is globally recognised. For the past 7 years, we’ve been hosting the official TEDxEatonSquarePrep event to showcase the next generation of leaders and build professional speaking skills.
- A values-led culture built around Perseverance, Ownership, Integrity, Service and Empathy, celebrated weekly at our whole school assembly.
- A Belgravia setting that feels like a village within central London, with its own park, church and community.
