Welcome to Charterhouse Square School

We have high aspirations for the children at Charterhouse Square School, where our pupils flourish both in and out of the classroom.

Located in the heart of the City of London, within the leafy square of Barbican, we do things a little differently. Our pupils, aged 3 to 11, achieve exceptional academic results within a nurturing, home-from-home environment. Celebrating individuality while fostering a strong sense of togetherness, we instil a confidence that prepares our children for life beyond our doors, paving the way for success at leading senior schools.

We'd love you to come and visit our school and see for yourself what makes Charterhouse Square a special private school in London.

 Academic Excellence. 

Our thoughtfully designed and dynamically delivered curriculum ensures every class operates a year ahead of expectations, with academic excellence being part of our everyday. As a result, our pupils consistently achieve results well above the national average at every school stage.

 Sport & Physical Activity.  

We prioritise physical activity as a vital part of our pupils' growth and development. With access to Charterhouse Square Garden and nearby sports facilities, our pupils engage in at least four hours of sporting activities each week – up to three times more than many state primaries.

 A Successful Future.  

Our pupils are encouraged to embrace challenges and step outside their comfort zones. They are taught to be self-motivated, inquisitive and independent. This confidence builds the foundation for successful futures, with many securing places at some of the most prestigious schools in London year after year.

FACILITIES & LOCATION

A welcoming and nurturing environment.

Charterhouse Square School has a character and ethos all of its own.

We cultivate a family atmosphere with no school uniforms and build strong relationships on a first-name basis between teachers and pupils - all in our unique central location in the City of London.

Our impressive terrace of seven interlinked buildings offers remarkably spacious and vibrant rooms, providing access to the beautiful Charterhouse Square Gardens. Stretching along one side of Charterhouse Square, we enjoy wonderful views of the serene garden and the historic Charterhouse itself.

Our home has recently undergone a significant expansion, resulting in a remarkable transformation. This expansion has introduced brand-new classrooms, indoor play areas, a dining area serving delicious hot lunches, innovative learning spaces for science and crafts, and music rooms designed to inspire our young talents.

Good Schools Guide Review

The GSG says: "Bright, neat, colourful classrooms were full of interested, happy and very polite children and the atmosphere of the school is extremely warm and friendly. Pupils who were leaving told us how they’ll miss Charterhouse ‘sooo much’, especially the teachers. ‘What I really like about the teachers is that they are all so friendly."
