Bute House Preparatory School for Girls is an independent day school for pupils aged 4 to 11, located near Brook Green in Hammersmith. Established in 1958 on land leased from the Mercers’ Company, the school maintains a distinctive non-competitive ethos that avoids academic streaming. The broad curriculum emphasises a well-rounded education, supported by modern facilities including a science laboratory, art studio, and a signature pirate ship playground. While Bute House shares some sporting facilities with St Paul’s Girls’ School, it operates as an independent, mixed-ability environment focused on developing inquisitive and confident learners.

Selectivity:

Academic

Admission to the school at the Reception (4+) stage is conducted via a random ballot, with automatic places granted to siblings of current pupils. For entry at Year 3 (7+), the process is academically selective, involving assessments that measure reading, writing, and mathematical skills, alongside reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Shortlisted candidates are subsequently invited for a relaxed interview to further evaluate their potential and learning behaviour.

Boarding:

Day Only
