NHP, Chepstow, Bassett House or Norland Place?

[ldgrace]

Hello

I am looking at prep schools for a reception place, this September, in the Notting Hill area and would like to hear from other parents on their experiences with Notting Hill Prep, Chepstow, Bassett House and Norland Place. I understand NHP to be seen as “the best” but this may not mean it is necessarily the ideal fit for our daughter.

I have heard a variety of mixed reviews on Chepstow and some slightly concerning grumblings about the head at Bassett House, so I am finding it all so confusing. I would really appreciate some insight from current parents or from those who have visited or applied.

Thank you

I don't know the other schools but a close relative has 2 DC at NHP in the early years and has been v pleased with the school. One of their DC is a summer birthday so the youngest in their year, and the school seems to have been able to cope with the differentiation quite well.

That’s really useful to know. Thank you

I often see NHP pupils walk past Ladbroke Grove station passing some very dodgy people and heavily urinated streets.

We are a Bassett House family - DH went there, as did his mother. We chose it for our DC and have been very happy. The head is super and runs a tight ship. Now, I wonder will the GC end up there, in thirty years!

Curious to know what the rumblings are about Bassett House as we are considering a place there for our son! Thank you
