Admissions South Kensington

Our specialist provision

Abingdon House School is an independent day school for children aged 5-19 with a range of unique learning profiles, and is a member of the Cavendish Education Group. We provide a mainstream-style education with a specialist approach, in a supportive and collaborative school community. We are committed to creating meaningful outcomes for all of our students.

At Abingdon House Prep School, we cater for pupils with a variety of needs between ages 7-13, including:

  • Autism Spectrum Condition (ASD)
  • Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD, including dyslexia, dyspraxia)
  • ADHD
  • Social communication difficulties
  • Other associated needs

Our specialist provision, created by our multidisciplinary team, offers an integrated therapeutic education that is tailored to each student’s individual needs. We are not able to accommodate pupils whose primary presenting need is behavioural, those requiring an ABA-specific approach, or those working below the national curriculum level.

Visiting Abingdon House Senior School

Families are welcome to tour the school with our team. If you’d like to schedule a school tour, please get in touch with our Admissions Lead at enquiries@abingdonhouseschool.co.uk. Please specify if you’re looking to tour at our Prep School campus in South Kensington (7-13 years) or our Senior School campus in Marylebone (11-19 years). If you aren’t sure which campus would be the right fit for your child, our Admissions Lead will be able to help.

Please note that the Prep School is housed in a four-storey building without a lift, so let us know if you need any accommodations for your visit.

Applying to Abingdon House Senior School

Our admissions process is designed to ensure we can provide the best possible support for your child:

  • If you think that Abingdon House Prep School in South Kensington may be the right place for your child, please fill out this enquiry form. Include as many relevant specialist reports as possible, such as your child’s EHCP, school reports and therapy assessments. Email the completed form and paperwork to enquiries@abingdonhouseschool.co.uk.
  • If after reviewing paperwork we feel we may be able to meet your child’s needs, we will invite them to a trial day. Staff will observe them throughout the trial and assess the suitability of the placement.
  • Following the trial day, we may arrange a call with your child’s current school or a second trial day. Once we have all the information we need, we will let you know if we can meet your child’s needs and if there is a place available at the school.
