Aims and Ethos

Portland Place School is a leading independent co-educational day school for children aged 10-16, located directly in the heart of the City of Westminster. It was founded with a particular purpose in mind: to be an alternative to the intense, large, examination focused independent day schools of which there are many in London.

The school ethos is to be small, nurturing and relaxed, encouraging and enabling our pupils to achieve their very best academically, with space to develop and express their creativity.

Portland Place School is academically non-selective. Through the excellent teaching and pastoral care provided its pupils achieve strong value-added and results are well above national averages.
