The childrens House Independant School
Celebrating almost 50 years of educating Islington
Delivering academic excellence and keeping our values at the heart of what we do - come on The Children’s House journey from Nursery School to Year Six... The Children’s House School is an independent, mixed ability, co-educational school with a true desire to ensure our children reach their potential and genuinely enjoy their educational experience. The school was set up in 1973 by a group of local parents looking for high-quality early years education in Islington for children from 2.5 years of age. Our present-day Nursery School is in Elmore Street and caters for children ranging in age from 2½ to 4 years. The Upper School in King Henry’s Walk offers Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. As we reach our 50th birthday, we are delighted to be expanding into a full Prep School for children up to Year 6. Our first year 3 cohort will start in September 2022.
Our ethos is simple, we want each child to reach their potential in a happy and nurturing environment, taught by excellent teachers. At The Children’s House, we aim to create an inspiring educational environment which enables children to become independent thinkers with an interest in the world around them. We make our learning practical, allowing every child to access lessons at a level which engages and challenges them. Our teachers are dedicated and understand each child’s needs, ensuring they reach their potential whilst learning resilience and leadership skills. Families are key to children’s happiness and ability to thrive, so we have an opendoor policy and encourage dialogue between home and school, with many opportunities for parents to get involved in school life. Being a local school, allows both children and adults to forge local friendships that long outlast their time with us.
As a non-selective, mixed ability school we are very proud that our children achieve standards of reading, writing and maths that are well above the national average. Our academic results are outstanding, and children go on to a wide range of excellent schools. It is an exciting time for us as we expand to Year 6 and continue delivering academic excellence to our children. We have a proven track record of preparing children for the 7+ and will use this knowledge to focus on the 11+ with remodelled and expanded facilities.
