Why Choose Us?
Our Results
We are a school with an unsurpassed heritage and an academic superhighway, giving boys aged 2-8 the skills and support that they need to ignite their potential for the challenging 7+ and 8+ examinations.
In 2025, 14 7+ offers were received for Westminster School, St Paul’s Boys and King’s Wimbledon and all the boys went on to top schools.
Our Reception
In the Reception Class at 4+, boys receive personalised support in both their form and House with engaging, dynamic and interactive teaching methods.
Many boys transition from the co-educational Nursery which accepts both boys and girls from ages 2-4.
Our Site
We are based in two large town houses in Belgravia, with access to Belgrave Square, with its Outdoor Learning School and Battersea Park and Eaton House The Manor Clapham Common for sports. We have a new library and Innovation Centre and a dedicated science lab and art room – in short, everything the boys need to succeed and thrive.
Our Educational Philosophy
Eaton House Belgravia encompasses traditional academic excellence with a dynamic, innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. The school is geared towards the boys sitting 7+ and 8+ exams in a calm and prepared way, but the whole school offering is a rich and complex journey that rounds out the boys’ education in music, art, drama and co-curricular activities, and which leaves them with lifelong and enduring friendships.
The Reception Class is from 4+ for boys, but for those that start in the co-educational Nursery, ‘School from 2+’ provides a longer lead-in for success and the exams that most pupils take at 7+ and 8+.
In the Nursery, compound learning is implemented in an accumulative and responsible manner by our passionate and dedicated teachers, alongside meaningful learning experiences.
Our Gold Standard of Wellbeing
A ‘gold standard’ of wellbeing is the foundation of all we do, as happy children are learning children. A strong and supportive House system and daily collaboration with parents forms a system of care that is second to none.
Our Inclusivity
We are a warm and inclusive school that teaches that kindness to others and good manners are the very foundation of an English education. Everyone is welcomed, and an extensive programme teaches the boys about a range of cultures and religions.
Our After School Clubs
The school offers a large number of exciting after-school clubs, extracurricular trips and activities that the boys really enjoy.
