About Us

The Mall is an independent school and nursery for children aged 6 months to 11 years. In September 2023, the first girls joined the school in Reception. The move to co-education is being phased in gradually and will be completed across all year groups by September 2028.  As of Summer 2025, girls have joined the senior school in Years 3 and 4.  View our co-ed timeline for the progress we’ve made.

Pupils benefit from our broad and creative curriculum  and dedicated preparation for 11+ examinations, within a nurturing environment.  Children flourish in our impressive facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool, purpose-built theatre, creative and performing arts centre, music department housing a wide range of instruments and multi-use sports hall.

The Mall achieves extraordinary results, despite being a non-selective school, thanks to our inspiring teaching and pastoral care.  Our academic results speak for themselves, with our most recent cohort of leavers going on to a range of outstanding secondary schools.

The school received extremely positive feedback in all areas in its most recent ISI Inspection.

Leaders ensure that there is an effective programme for older pupils to reflect on their lives beyond school. Pupils discuss and start to examine their aspirations for the future and to think about the personal qualities required to achieve their goals.
