We were delighted to be rated Outstanding in all categories by Ofsted in 2022.

With specialist teachers, excellent pastoral care, an exciting and dynamic curriculum and enriching extra-curricular activities, we have a reputation for providing a happy and fulfilling educational environment and for equipping children for success at many of the country’s leading senior schools.

With only 160 pupils across the Nursery, Reception, Pre-Prep and Preparatory years, we take pride in getting to know every child just that little bit better.

Whether you live locally, are new to Clapham or are looking to relocate to London, we can’t wait to show you our school and nursery.

Do come and experience the special Parkgate spirit in person – you will receive a warm welcome.

We were delighted to welcome Jemma from Restless Development to assembly to introduce the 2025 Knight Frank Schools Triathlon. This will take place at Cranleigh School on 18th May 2025. We look forward to seeing lots of Prep pupils taking part, swimming, cycling and running to raise money for Restless Development and the Royal Trinity Hospice.

At the 2024 triathlon, Parkgate teams raised an impressive £9237, and two Parkgate teams were the top fundraisers at the event - the Cheery Cheerios raised an incredible £1734, and the Speedy Squirrels raised an amazing £1437! 👏👏👏
