HI

Trying to find good secondary schools around Camden town, I don't know the area so not sure if there is any grammar near it (commutable ) or a good independent school with a good bursary . Appreciate any help. Thanks

South Hampstead is a good private school but you don’t need to pay if you can get a place at Camden Girls.

Parliament Hill Girls, Camden Girls both have very gold reputation and results on par with some grammars. Independents you have to travel so depends what line you live near but Highgate, Channing, FHRP are probably the closest independents. Lots of options if you have girls basically.

Bear in mind that London state schools are some of the best in the country. Your local secondary may be great. Don’t discount it just because it’s not a grammar or independent school.

Camden School for Girls beats plenty of state grammars.

.
There are no grammar schools in that part of London. Camden school for girls is very good though. And Dame Alice Owen is the nearest thing to a grammar as it has an exam entry system. Beyond that you've just got all the usual North London privates. They're all different and depends really on what else you're looking for. They do all have bursaries but they do vary, depends if you've got low income or just a purely academic bursary. If the latter unlikely you get full bursary.

Definitely look at City of London School (girls or boys). Amazing schools.
