Leading Co-Educational Prep School in Central London
Eaton Square is an outstanding co-educational prep school in the heart of Belgravia, welcoming pupils of all genders from Pre-Nursery through to Year 6. We believe children learn best – academically, socially and emotionally – when they grow up alongside a genuine mix of friends, not a single-sex cohort.
Learning and Growing Together
Choosing a co-ed prep school in London means choosing an environment that reflects the world your child will grow up in. At Eaton Square, everyone shares the same classrooms, the same clubs, the same sports fixtures and the same friendships – building confidence, empathy and communication skills that serve them well beyond Year 6.
The Benefits of Co-Education at Eaton Square
Co-education isn’t just a demographic fact at Eaton Square – it’s a deliberate part of how we prepare children for life. Benefits our families consistently tell us they value include:
- Broader social development. Children learn to collaborate, compete and communicate with a genuine mix of peers from their earliest years, rather than in a single-sex bubble.
- A more balanced view of the world. Growing up learning alongside a mixed gender group helps normalise mutual respect and equal participation, long before senior school.
- Stronger preparation for senior school. The vast majority of UK senior schools are co-educational, so a co-ed prep school experience gives pupils a natural, confident transition – our Class of 2026 secured 81 offers across 35 senior schools.
- A genuinely representative community. Eaton Square offers a well-balanced, authentically mixed cohort rather than a token gesture towards co-education.
A Balanced, Genuinely Mixed Community
Our pupils don’t just share a building – they share a curriculum, a set of values, and a community. Every child at Eaton Square is taught the same enriched curriculum, take part in the same clubs and trips, and is held to the same high expectations, whatever their gender.
Our values – Perseverance, Ownership, Integrity, Service and Empathy (POISE) – apply equally to every pupil, and our weekly whole-school assemblies at St Michael’s Church bring the entire co-educational community together to celebrate achievement.
Co-Education in Everyday School Life
From Reception through to Year 6, everyone at Eaton Square:
- Learn together in mixed classes across all core and foundation subjects.
- Compete and collaborate together in sport, including through our English Schools’ Swimming Association links.
- Take part in the same enrichment opportunities, from our TEDx public speaking programme to Debating Club and school trips.
- Are recognised equally for effort and achievement through our POISE values awards.
