At a glance
London Park School Clapham opened in September 2023 in two renovated Victorian Grade II listed mansions beside Clapham Common. The 11-16 co-educational day school is built around a small community and a setting that connects pupils with the Common and the wider city.
Teaching is integrated and experiential, leading towards GCSE study through a broad, carefully sequenced curriculum. Support for pupils with special educational needs is part of the provision. Residentials, including French Alps visits for Years 8 and 9, sit alongside museums, robotics, choir, photography, fixtures, societies and weekly global citizenship, so academic work is regularly connected with practical activity and the wider city.
Applications are made through London Park Schools. The process may involve information from the current school, creative writing, a reference and a Discovery Day based on collaborative activity. There is no boarding, and the school serves the 11-16 years rather than the Mayfair and Sixth Form provision elsewhere in the group.
Clapham's character comes from the combination of a young school, historic houses and an outward-looking programme. Pupils have the structure of a small secondary community, but their work extends into museums, travel, performance, technology and shared projects beyond the classroom.
