Eaton Square is not just an educational institution that achieves excellent academic results; it is a community that recognises the profound impact of art and design education on the holistic development of its pupils. City Kids

There’s a cosmopolitan buzz to this prep school, which embraces internationalism and modernity despite its traditional uniform of felt hats (or boaters if it’s summer). The predominantly youthful staff deliver teaching through innovative methods with behaviour expectations high, public speaking encouraged, and class sizes small. The results speak for themselves, with the small group learning paying dividends at 11+ time. Muddy Stilettos

A welcoming and enriching space. Parent

“The pupils are happy, confident, and able to pursue their interests and passions alongside traditional academic subjects.” Tatler

A safe, happy and nurturing learning environment; where each child is given every possible opportunity to thrive. Absolutely Mama

The school’s success is very much down to its ever moving and progressive curriculum. Nappy Valley Net
