We've reviewed this school • Unlock to access

With its welcoming mix of decidedly modern and slightly faded trad, this is an unpretentious school that’s really on the up. ‘Not at all stuffy’ or overly strict, there is something refreshingly honest and down to earth about Keble. It might not be the shiniest, but it does what it sets out to do, and does it very well. These are decent folk doing an excellent job of producing thoroughly decent young people – and very able ones at that.

Why read our school review?

Our view

Somewhat old-fashioned air, but not a school stuck in the past. First impressions are of the oldest building, a handsome London-stock Edwardian villa perched on a hill with city views. Behind this the site opens up, Tardis-like, with a huge

SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

Keble is a nurturing and inclusive school. We support pupils with individual needs through intervention and reasonable adjustments in lessons. We have TAs who support pupils in the classes across the Pre-Prep. Support in the Prep school is reduced and generally in-class. Children with a diagnosed need have a learning support plan with reasonable adjustments made. We support children with an EHCP, but Keble is not a specialist school and generally additional needs fall within the mild to moderate range. The curriculum is academic and from year 5 takes account of the common entrance syllabus. The emotional well-being of all pupils is a key aim at Keble and is supported by the whole school ethos, PSHE syllabus and additional social skills input and support groups.
