Which prep schools feed St Paul’s Girls’ School?

Officially, there is no such thing as a feeder school to St Paul’s Girls’ School. However, a handful of London prep schools have historically filled a large share of the 90-100 places available at St Paul’s Girls’ School at 11+. Most of these tend to be highly selective themselves, so it is no surprise they send a higher share of girls to SPGS than other schools. But if you are looking for a school where a high number of girls are of a calibre to thrive at SPGS one day, you should certainly consider the below list.

The following prep schools send a significant number of girls to St Paul’s Girls’ School in 2019:

  • Bute House 12- 14 (out of 60) – this is an estimate, as the school has stopped reporting results, potentially to avoid the “SPGS feeder” label
  • Falkner House 11 (out of 22) – clearly, you can’t go wrong with this one, although it is very hard to gain a place here at 4+ or after, as entry standards are very high
  • Glendower Prep 7 (out of 26)
  • Kensington Prep 7 (out of 39)
  • North London Collegiate School 5 offers (4 accepted)
  • Hampden Gurney 5 (out of 20?), a Church of England state school in Marylebone, although potentially much harder to get into than most of the above!
  • Queen’s College Prep School 4 (out of 15), a non-selective prep school in Marylebone that puts pastoral care and finding the right school for each child first
  • Newton Prep 2 (out of about 20 girls)
  • Kew College 2, non-selective prep
  • Pembridge Hall 2 (out of 56, non-selective)
  • Thomas’s Kensington 2
