Orchard House School is a preparatory school for children aged 3 to 11 years old. The school is based in the Bedford Park area of Chiswick, West London. There are some 276 children in the school, who are prepared for the competitive entry examinations of the leading London schools.
Results over recent years have been excellent and, whilst academic success is a clear focus, the happiness and all-round education of each and every child remains our top priority.
