NHP pupils leave us at either 11 or 13 to both day and boarding schools. Just as there is no ‘typical’ NHP pupil, our pupils go on to a wide range of senior schools, both in London and further afield. Here at NHP we work closely with parents to offer a bespoke service which ensures that we find the right next school for every child.

The Dukes Village
Notting Hill Prep is part of the Dukes Education family of schools and educators, brought together by a common purpose: to give children the foundations for an extraordinary life.
We create clusters of nurseries and schools in village locations to ensure that families can enjoy the option of an all-through education journey with Dukes Education within their local area.
Continuity and Confidence
As students prepare to transition from prep school to senior school, our guaranteed entry policy offers a seamless progression within the Dukes family of senior schools, subject only to the availability of a place and a child’s ability to thrive in the ethos and curriculum, and without the need to sit traditional school entrance exams such as the 11+ or 13+.
Guaranteed Placement, Tailored Support
Dukes Education supports each child’s journey to senior school, working with families to find the right school; one that matches their unique strengths and aspirations.
Our commitment to providing a guaranteed place at a Dukes Education senior school allows students to focus on their personal and academic development instead of spending precious time preparing for school entrance exams and the added pressure that entails.
For families applying to selective senior schools, our prep schools provide thorough guidance, tailored 11+ and 13+ exam preparation and exceptional pastoral support to ensure that every student is ready to perform at their best.
This approach ensures a confident and smooth transition to senior school for all children, nurturing lifelong learners within the supportive framework of Dukes Education.
Early acceptance
If a family decides their child will not sit the 11+ or 13+ entrance tests, we are usually able to confirm acceptance to a Dukes senior school early, for example, in Year 5. Early acceptance offers families peace of mind, allowing children to enjoy their final years at prep school and focus on a positive transition to senior school.
