About Pembridge Hall School
Pembridge Hall is an independent girls’ preparatory school set in a beautiful residential square in Notting Hill, London. It provides education for four to eleven year old students and has 440 pupils in its care. The school is part of the Alpha Plus Group: the Gold Standard in educational provision.
Pembridge Hall School was founded in 1979 by a religious order of nuns. It moved to its current site in 1983. In September 2002, it was sold to the Alpha Plus Group and expanded into a three-form-entry school in 2003.
The school is split over two sites, between which the girls can easily walk. Reception and Years 1-3 are at 18 Pembridge Square, while Years 4-6 are at 10 Pembridge Square. There are specialist teaching rooms for Computing, Drama, Science, French, Music and Art, along with two gyms and an Innovation Space.
Pembridge prepares its pupils for 11+ examinations and consequently they are offered places at the top day and boarding senior schools in the country. The individual is valued and the school is a community which promotes disciplined, enquiring minds and facilitates children’s development into successful learners and thinkers, equipping them with the necessary skills for their future role in society.

Vision and values
Pembridge Hall recognises that our girls will enter a complex and ever-changing world which befits emotionally intelligent, resilient girls who can embrace the wonderful opportunities available to them. Pembridge girls love coming to school and gain an appreciation of wider society and the diversity of nationalities, faiths and languages represented by Pembridge families. We believe that creativity and independence of thought are as integral to the girls’ development as traditional forms of learning.
