Introduction

Knightsbridge School is an independent co‑educational day school in London offering a British curriculum from Nursery to GCSE. The school teaches in English with a framework aligned to the Early Years Foundation Stage, and the Junior and Senior Curricula build English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities alongside a broad modern language programme. Pupils study a language from early years, with Year 4 broadening to Italian or Mandarin, and Latin introduced in the Senior years. The Lennox Gardens campus provides reception classrooms, an Assembly Hall, a science laboratory and an art studio, with 1:1 music practice rooms and Place2Be counselling. A rich enrichment programme includes a range of co‑curricular clubs and trips, and a Performing Arts focus from drama and dance to music. The school also partners with venues around Chelsea and Knightsbridge for specialist spaces, and runs Duke of Edinburgh, guest talks, university tours and residential trips to support post‑16 progression.

Admissions

Admissions
Step 1. Visiting and enquiry. Visiting Knightsbridge School is the typical starting point for the admissions journey. The admissions team can assist with inquiries by phone or email. The visit helps families experience the school's environment and understand its approach to learning.

Step 2. Interviews and assessments. Entry is determined through an informal interview with the child and parents at the appropriate level. For prospective pupils entering Year 1 and above, a taster day within the relevant year group and an in-person assessment are arranged, together with a reference from the pupil's current school. Quest is used for assessments. This process assesses readiness and fit for the next phase.

Step 3. Entry points and international admissions. Official entry points are Reception (4+), Year 7 (11+), and Year 9 (13+); enquiries for other year groups are welcome subject to availability. For overseas applicants, there is a dedicated international admissions process.

Step 4. Registration and fees. A child's name is placed on the applicant list after completing and returning a registration form to the Admissions Office, accompanied by a non-refundable registration fee of £240. Admission is subject to the availability of a place and the pupil meeting entrance requirements. The registration fee is non-refundable.

Step 5. Dukes Education and guaranteed entry. Knightsbridge School is part of the Dukes Education family. It offers guaranteed entry at key entry points—Nursery, Reception and Year 7—subject to space and the pupil's ability to thrive within the school's ethos and curriculum. Occasional places are available outside these points.
