Tatler Schools Guide 2019
Orchard House features in Tatler magazine’s Schools Guide to the top prep and public schools in the UK.
‘ “Getting my children into Orchard House has been an absolute dream”, says a mother. Each morning the streets of Chiswick turn into a sea of blue jumpers, scooters and dogs; there’s a real villagey, local vibe here. To be in for a chance, it’s names are down at birth (or even before), and last year’s leavers won more than 15 scholarships – to the likes of Downe House, St. Paul’s and Latymer Upper. Maths is impressive and technology embraced, with compulsory iPads in Year 5. Head Maria Edwards is a keen sportswoman and last year the Year 4 football team enjoyed an unbeaten season. Pupils are bright and enthusiastic; there’s enough whooping and cheering in Friday ‘recognition’ assemblies to bring the house down. “The children are incredibly happy, and the rest follows”, says a parent.’ (Tatler 2019)
