London Park Schools

We were delighted to announce to the market our plans for a new senior school for Clapham opening in September 2023.

LPS Clapham will be located in two beautiful Victorian mansion buildings, minutes from Clapham South tube station and opposite the Common. The buildings are Grade II listed, and are being sensitively and sustainably renovated over the course of the year in preparation for our first cohort to start in September 2023.

LPS Clapham is the first of a number of schools under the LPS banner. Each school will be relatively small, with its own Head, its own staff and own identity, but they all share common values and ethos. The pupils and staff will join together for occasional activities and initiatives, so benefiting from the scale of a large school. LPS Clapham pupils will also have virtually guaranteed access to the new London Park Sixth Form, planned for Belgravia within two years.

Following our announcement, we have welcomed over 300 prospective parents to open days

A powerful partnership has grown between Lyceum School and St Vincent’s, a school for students with sensory impairment and other needs in Liverpool. After meeting at the Dukes Poetry Together event last year, Lyceum was invited to visit St Vincent’s. In the summer term, Lyceum pupils in Year 6 attended a week-long residential that aimed to give them some insight into life as a young person with sensory impairment. In Liverpool they learned to navigate life as a blind person, learned to play sports blindfolded and were taught braille by their new friends. The week then culminated in a wonderful joint music concert.

Rainbow Mbugani, a blind footballer who Lyceum students met at St Vincent’s, then visited the Year 6 students at school in London where he led an assembly to share the learnings from their visit to Liverpool. Mbugani plays for the England Blind Football team and shared with pupils his dream to take part in the next Paralympics. He coached the Lyceum football team for a session and very kindly donated his England shirt to the school.

Northcote Lodge and Broomwood Upper

Our boys from Northcote Lodge and girls from Broomwood Upper School enjoyed a fantastic Co-Ed Curricular Day, where ‘Energy in everyday life’ was the theme and there was plenty of energy on display – including in the playgrounds! Everyone loved visiting the different school sites and it was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate, reconnect and make new friends. Our boys and girls were able to attend workshops together, helping to develop active learning, communication and decision-making.

It was a great example of one of the many ways we try and maintain the best of both worlds within our school community, as we look forward to joining our three schools (Northcote Lodge; Broomwood Upper School; Broomwood Lower School) under the one name, ‘Broomwood’ in September 2023.

Orchard House

At Orchard House School, we relish the idea of sharing the achievements of our pupils and championing their success! Last year Chloe, (then Form 2) was chosen from thousands of applicants to be featured in The Royal Academy of Arts Young Artist’s Summer Show which was displayed in the Academy itself, featured online and in their catalogue.

The theme, My First Art Teacher, was a moment to celebrate young people’s creativity and to thank those who inspire and teach them. We are very grateful to Mr J L Alcaraz-Gomez, MSc(Hons)(Madrid) CertEd(Madrid), for his continuous enthusiasm and devotion to inspiring the pupils at Orchard House School!

After the 11+ process has come to an end, our Year 6 children take part in a bespoke transition programme to make the adjustment to secondary school easier on multiple levels. The aim is to provide a greater level of knowledge, independence and confidence for the students. In addition to a plethora of enjoyable school trips, the programme has four strands: The first strand focuses on Heads of Year 7 together
