Wandsworth has a thriving independent school sector ranging from prep schools to senior institutions. This guide lists the independent schools we hold records for in the borough, grouped by prep and senior and ordered by their most recent ISI inspection quality grade. Each school's profile has fee information, scholarship availability, and destination data where available.
Preparatory schools educate children roughly aged 4–13 and prepare them for entrance exams to senior independent schools. Entry points vary — some start at 4+, others at 7+ or 8+. Registration often needs to happen years in advance.
What to look for:Leaver's destinations are often the best indicator of a prep school's quality — see which senior schools their pupils go on to. Also check ISI inspection results and academic outcomes on each school's profile page.

Senior independent schools typically start at 11+ or 13+ and go through to sixth form. They set their own entrance exams, offer GCSEs and A-levels, and many provide scholarships and bursaries.
