• Tower House is ambitious, kind and strongly preparatory and aims to help boys become confident, curious and well-rounded before they move on.

• Will suit families wanting a boys' prep with strong senior-school preparation, plenty of activity and a confident but caring culture.

Admissions at Tower House are polished, boys-focused and strongly preparatory, and should appeal to families seeking an East Sheen prep with clear senior-school ambition. It should suit parents who want a traditional boys' environment with strong literacy and maths, broad co-curricular life and a visible pathway onwards at 13+.

A strong scholarships story is very clearly part of the overall picture, with the school openly celebrating breadth and quantity of awards and supporting boys through the process. That will matter to ambitious prep-school families.

The overall picture is confident, caring and clearly prep-like, with the school foregrounding kindness, curiosity and a long history as an all-boys independent prep. Parents should still visit because the important question is whether the tone feels both supportive and sufficiently stretching for their son.

Assessment at Tower House is regular, well structured and closely connected to senior-school readiness, with particular attention to English, maths, reasoning and broader progress. Families should expect a school that starts future-schools conversations early and keeps progress under steady review.
