Streatham & Clapham High School 42 Abbotswood Road, London SW16 1AW

"My daughter had 5 amazing years in this school. It is a happy place where the girls get to do and try many subjects and extracurricular activities. The teaching is fantastic and the teachers are always happy to chat and let you know what your child has to do get the best results."

"The school is very pretty and I like it's environment and the uniform but there's a few things I don't like about it. When I did the exam, I realised that there wasn't many primary school children but ALOT of private school children, but that didn't really affect me. Now here is the part. When I finished my exam, I was kinda excited and nervous because I didn't know whether I passed the exam or not. A few months later, I got a letter from the school but it wasn't very specific so I didn't know if I passed the exam or not. A few weeks after that, I didn't get any calls or messages from the school so my mum called them and then they told her that there were no available spaces for me, when I applied early. It's really annoying how they didn't have the audacity to call my mum and let me know if I was in. I bet that if she hadn't called her then I would never know if I got in the school or not. I only think that they just wanted to get more private school children rather than primary. And they should at least call my mum, instead of her having to wait ages so she could call them. So I suggest that if you want to apply this school for your daughter, then think twice."

"I was a student at Streatham & Clapham High School for Girls for 3 years. There were many aspects that didn’t support my needs at the time. So much so, I decided to change schools. The Headmaster Dr Sachania is an incredibly talented, kind, heartwarming and caring man who made me feel valued and welcomed at the school. His piano skills blew me away and he deepened my inspiration and motivation to play piano. My main inspiration however was my piano teacher Frances Angell - who I continue to have lessons with now. She was (and still is) phenomenal. She gave me the tools and aided my progression as a pianist, to now where I’ve achieved a distinction for my Grade 8."

"Well run independent school with lovely atmosphere. Good facilities and its accessible as well. Not too close to train/tube links but bus runs close by."

"My sister went here and she always said it was fantastic. My girlfriend went here too and it is probably the best girls school in South West London."
