Prepared for what's next.
It is not down to chance that our pupils enjoy success in the classroom and later exams. It is built on superb teaching and high expectations.
Parents send their children to Charterhouse Square School because we offer superb preparation for senior school within a friendly and supportive environment.
Year after year, our girls and boys leave the school with much-coveted places at some of London’s finest schools. They also leave with the personal skills necessary to make the most of the opportunities they have earned.

The Early Year Foundation Stage
Throughout the Early Years, we continuously assess your child's progress. In the final term of Reception, we complete the official Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, measuring attainment in key learning areas aligned with the Early Learning Goals (ELGs).
To achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD), children must meet the ELGs in personal, social, and emotional development, language and communication, physical development, literacy, and mathematics.
Progress Test in Maths and English
Our pupils’ academic progress is carefully monitored through annual National Standardised tests in English and Mathematics. The Progress Test in English (PTE) assesses pupils' technical English skills, including spelling, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehension.
The Progress Test in Maths (PTM) monitors their mathematical skills and knowledge in areas such as number, shape, data handling, and algebra, as well as their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
The results presented below show age-standardised scores, with the red dashed line indicating the national average of 100. Notably, our pupils have consistently achieved scores significantly above the national average.

CURRICULUM
A total learning experience.
Our curriculum is far more than just a framework for academic success. It is a holistic approach that integrates routines, behaviours, activities, and experiences, all carefully designed to enrich every aspect of a child’s development.
From structured lessons to creative and physical pursuits, from school events to everyday interactions, we ensure that pupils are constantly learning, growing, and preparing for the challenges of life beyond the classroom.
Our innovative curriculum encourages pupils to explore, question, and express themselves while building resilience, independence, and a love of learning. By blending academic excellence with opportunities for personal development, we create a supportive environment where every child can thrive.
This process helps to ensure that our pupils not only make the best possible progress academically and but also develop the confidence, adaptability, and skills to succeed in the wider world.
Leavers' Destinations
Great expectations
Our pupils leave us well-prepared for the next stage of their educational journey, with many securing places at some of the most prestigious schools in the capital, often winning scholarships and exhibitions.
11+ Preparations
Our pupils feel prepared and confident entering their exams.
At Charterhouse Square School, we take pride in our pupils' achievements and recognise the importance of offering parents comprehensive guidance to ensure the best educational journey for their children. Our Head possesses extensive knowledge of all senior schools, ensuring a tailored approach to finding the 'best fit' for each child.
Our 11+ exam preparation not only takes place in the year leading up to exams but is also seamlessly integrated into the curriculum from the early years. To maintain high academic standards, we work a curriculum a year ahead where possible. This forward-thinking approach ensures that our pupils are well-prepared for any challenges they may encounter.
Focused on verbal and non-verbal curriculum
We believe in cultivating a robust vocabulary to support overall cognitive development. To further aid learning and exam practice, pupils have access to Century Tech, an AI platform.
To prepare our pupils for interviews we focus on oracy skills through activities such as debating, philosophy for children, and current affairs. Additionally, our pupils serve as tour guides on Nursery Viewing Days, providing them with valuable experience in communicating with unfamiliar adults.
In Year 6, pupils undergo mock interviews, receiving constructive feedback to enhance their interview skills. We also hold regular parent-teacher meetings to facilitate open communication, allowing parents to actively participate in their child's educational progress.
Practical exam preparation
We engage pupils in the weekly completion of past papers and provide focused instruction on exam techniques. Our unique approach extends to the arts, exploring the expressive potential of paintings and what they can communicate.
Additionally, we integrate puzzles and challenges into our curriculum, serving as effective tools to further enhance interview and exam practice. We encourage a broad reading diet through Reading Passports, with a particular emphasis on classics to prepare pupils for the comprehension element of exams.
Our approach ensures that our pupils excel not only academically but also as well-rounded individuals, fully prepared to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
