Kensington Prep School GDST

 Kensington Prep School is an independent school for girls aged 4-11 in Fulham, and it is a place where girls learn without limits.

Rooted in our values of compassion, courage, integrity, and joy, we nurture happy, healthy, curious, and creative children. We inspire joyful learning and cultivate character, empowering every girl to flourish and to step into her future with purpose and the boldness to shape a changing world. In short, we are Growing Great Minds and Big Hearts.

As the first school in the Girls’ Days School Trust (GDST) (now a network of 24 schools and two academies) we are proud of our pioneering heritage and girls-first focus with alumnae including the suffragette, Emily Wilding Davison.

At Kensington Prep School, pupils learn and are cared for holistically through an irresistible education which blends inspirational teaching, academic excellence, and outstanding pastoral support – all informed by research and innovation.

Our impressive facilities are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the girls. They include a large playground (unusual for its London location) for outdoor learning, sport and play, the innovative Explore Floor, a dedicated science laboratory, a bright art studio, and a versatile drama studio. These specialist areas are complemented by spacious, flexible classrooms that adapt to dynamic learning, ensuring pupils have the optimal environment to discover their potential.

All of this enables us to prepare pupils to leave with a lifelong love of learning and as compassionate individuals, confidently navigating a changing world while supporting and uplifting others.
