Any experience of London Park School Clapham?

It looks lovely from what I've seen so far and I think could suit my daughter well. But I'm a little concerned about the boy-girl ratio, especially since it's such a small school. If anyone has experience of the school, particularly for girls, I'd love to hear. Thanks!

I know the parents of a girl and the parents of a boy in the upper years, both sets happy. they both came from other schools where things didn't work out for them, both those schools were selective on entry, the two children are very able, got ND diagnosis after starting secondary school after things became difficult, and LPS has provided them what they needed.
I know one of the families is looking at changing for sixth form- I think just size and breath of the curriculum/choice of A level options, not sure about the other.

i met a mom this time last year who had one dd there with a dyslexia diagnosis and was very pleased and her second dd was going to be attending as well.
both girls were from schools that linked to the common so live in the area.
family i know attend another dukes site and have been pleased with the level of care and attention.
personally i like the location and look forward to seeing how it does in the next few years.

Thanks so much, that’s really helpful. My daughter is also dyslexic - bright and able but doesn’t respond well to high pressure environments. Hoping this might be the right place for her.

My 6 year old daughter attends Eveline Day school in Balham and I would highly recommend it.

The class sizes are small and the teachers are incredibly supportive. They have strong academics, a range of extra curricular activities. They provide customised education that allows children to thrive and be the best version of themselves

As a former student at LPS Clapham, the headmaster Susan Brooks is a horrible person, racist and just miserable. She always has an issue with no reason and it makes school life hell. She doesn't advocate for the school enough or properly, she goes for trips during the school term, only shows up when deemed necessary and is just miserable. I would never send my child here as a former student. Do not do it!!
