Charterhouse Square School | ISI Report, Reviews, Fees & Admission 2026

Charterhouse Square School, set within the leafy square of Barbican in the heart of the City of London, offers a unique and enriching education for children aged 3 to 11. We nurture confident, curious learners in a warm, close-knit community where every child is known, celebrated and supported.

Pupils benefit from exceptional opportunities both inside and outside the classroom – from rooftop yoga and swimming at Ironmonger Row Baths to sport at nearby Crown Fields. We prioritise happiness and individuality, where children express themselves each day by wearing what they wish, and pupils and staff are on a first-name basis. This creates a relaxed, respectful environment where children feel free to be themselves. The strong, trusting relationships between pupils and staff are at the heart of our school – fostering confidence, communication, and a genuine love of learning.

Our innovative curriculum combines academic rigour with creativity, oracy and independent thinking. Pupils consistently achieve results well above the national average, progressing to many of London’s leading senior schools. From Year 3, each pupil uses a personal device, supporting digital literacy and integrated learning from an early age.

Wellbeing is embedded in everyday life. With daily mindfulness, regular check-ins and a caring team including Mental Health First Aiders and a part-time counsellor, we support every child emotionally as well as academically.

Our vibrant co-curricular programme spans the arts, music, sport and more – encouraging children to discover their interests and talents. We champion pupil voice, inclusion and global awareness through meaningful initiatives and classroom conversation, empowering children to understand themselves and the world around them.

At Charterhouse Square School, children are encouraged to aim high, think big and enjoy the journey – preparing not just for senior school, but for life beyond our doors.
