Bancroft's School

Bancroft’s is an award-winning co-educational HMC day school serving 1,200 pupils aged 7 to 18. Founded by the Drapers’ Company in 1737, we combine serious academic ambition with a full extra-curricular life and a strong, caring pastoral ethos. The Preparatory School shares specialist facilities with the Senior School, including the sports hall, swimming pool, arts and sciences. The Senior site is built around a Victorian quad and supplemented by a modern Performing Arts Centre, Music School, Science Labs and a dedicated Sixth Form Centre.
