Our School Kew House School was established in the conviction that there exists an opportunity for a different kind of independent secondary school in London - academically demanding but with a forward-thinking approach to selection criteria, the flexibility of the curriculum, the shape of the school day, and recognition of creativity and talent. A character-selective school, we pride ourselves on the support and care we extend to our 500 pupils whilst striving to add value to their success in all fields of academia, sport, and creativity. Kew House School has successfully grown over ten years since its foundation and was recently awarded the ISI "Excellent" grading. Curriculum The post-16 curriculum provision advises students to take appropriate combinations of A Level subjects, plus an EPQ. Students at Kew House School combine A-Level Psychology with a wide range of subjects, including other sciences. The school's aim is to provide a rich and broad education to all students, whatever their specialism. Whilst we aim to achieve the highest academic results for each student, we do not serve as an examination "factory".
