The session will last around 45 minutes and will be led by Mrs Sheetal Shah, our Head of Little Lyons, as well as our Little Lyons teaching staff.

 Do you have links to other schools? 

Yes, we have a Senior School. Together, we are one co-ed up to 18. We are also part of the global Harrow Family of Schools, which features Harrow School itself as well as a number of other leading schools around the world.

Do you offer half-day or half-week options for Pre-Nursery? 

We only offer the five full day option.

 Can I apply for scholarship/bursary?

 When will 2+ (Nursery) assessments take place? 

They are ongoing.

 Is lunch included in the school fees?
Yes, unlike most other schools in the area, we do not charge extra for lunch. 

 Do you offer a coach service?
We offer a comprehensive coach service, which is heavily subsidised by the School and takes pressure off families at drop-off and pick-ups. The service is available from Year 3. We encourage use of our coaches for not only your convenience and ease, but also for our collective sustainability efforts. It is also a great way for children to socialise with one another.

 Is the transition from Prep School to the Senior School automatic? 

We offer our children automatic transition between Prep and Senior School, thus enabling children and parents to not go through the lengthy and emotional 11+ journey.
