What The Good Schools Guide says..
Well mannered, cheerful girls drift around the building in their navy uniform with pink stripes. Smart, but not overly starchy, and with a few designer brands dotted here and there. Our year 12 tour guide was full of beans, bright and confident. ‘Best thing I ever did was leaving my other school for this lovely, much smaller school.’ Just don’t call this school a ‘hidden gem’- it really gets the head’s back up, warned one parent. ‘Ms Hagerty wants this to be a school that people know about, not just…
What the school says...
More House School is a Catholic school that welcomes girls of all faiths. With the benefit of small classes, the particular talents of every girl are nurtured and developed by dedicated teachers. We are proud of the consistent successes of our pupils in GCSE and A-level examinations. A full programme of physical education is part of every girl's curriculum. Good athletes have been chosen to represent the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in the London mini-marathon and there is a sports day each year.

Head
Since 2021, Faith Hagerty. She came from St Augustine’s Priory, Ealing, where she worked for 14 years as drama teacher, head of department, head of sixth form and finally deputy head. Brought up in west London, she attended a Catholic convent then the Arts Educational School, followed by sixth form at Notting Hill and Ealing High School.

Special Education Needs
The majority of learning needs are accommodated within the classroom by the subject teacher. As classes are smaller than in many independent schools, a high level of individual support can be provided. Where necessary, based on evidenced need, learning support may be provided outside classes, on an individual or small group basis. Such support will have a specific focus, for example, reading fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, writing. We always view girls holistically taking into account their interests, aspirations and emotions in supporting them. Girls with a range of special educational needs and difficulties have progressed to university and we encourage all pupils to aim high and achieve their best. We have an excellent support network based around the Form Tutor and our PSHE programme.
