What The Good Schools Guide says
Head
Since April 2021, Jennie Phillips, the first female head of the school and indeed in the King’s Foundation. Previously head of Monmouth School Girls’ Prep School, she was educated at Oxford High School and studied education at Exeter. A keen hiker and swimmer, the great outdoors is very much her thing. A whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm, she is a natural with the children, we were told. Married to Eddie, with two daughters who are at the senior school.
Entrance
The school pretty well fills up at kindergarten, as well as having intakes in reception and the following years. Certainly at kindergarten level it is fairly non-selective. Children visit the school and are informally observed.
