Welcome to Prince’s Gardens, a vibrant independent school for boys and girls aged 3-11 in the heart of Kensington.
A Prince’s Gardens education equips their children with the confidence and resourcefulness that prepares them to flourish in a fast-changing world. The rich and exciting curriculum instils high standards and they use the wealth of local resources to inspire a love of learning.
The school offers a kind and nurturing environment where small class sizes and dedicated staff mean that each child is valued as an individual and encouraged and inspired to achieve their very best. Situated in an enviable position opposite Hyde Park, their children enjoy spacious, airy classrooms and a large garden in which to learn and play.
The curriculum is driven by academic excellence and a passion for learning. Equally important is the broad and engaging enrichment programme, delivering opportunities for every child to experience a wide range of clubs, activities, sports and trips; allowing each child to make friends, collaborate, work in a team, share ideas and build self-confidence.
With Imperial College, The Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, the V & A and many more awe-inspiring museums on our doorstep, they have ready access to some of the best educational and cultural institutions in London as part of daily life: London truly is their classroom.
