Independent schools in London for an American expat

[anniesta]

We are moving from NYC to London, and I would appreciate any advice with school selection . With the exception of ASL, which seems impossible to get into, which school could be a good option for an American student entering middle school? What do people think of TASIS? Thank you!

Thomas' are all good, based in West London and about 7k a term. For public schools (ages 11/13-18) the world is your oyster, but they're highly competitive for both sexes.

Two of the UK's best state (free) primary schools are also West, in SW4 (Battersea/Clapham) - Bellevue and Honeywell. And one senior school (age 11-18) - Graveney School. On the whole, UK state education isn't up to international standards, but these three are great. Also insanely oversubscribed.

Overseas DC are no problem for either - this is London.
