During the Spring Term London Park Schools Clapham (LPS Clapham), a part of the Dukes Education family, was named in Talk Education’s 2026 Top 250 UK Schools list for the first time. Schools are selected following a rigorous process which looks beyond just academic results and rankings, and includes meeting school Heads and teachers, speaking with students and tapping into local perspectives to get a more complete view of why some schools are so special. The list is a carefully scrutinised selection of schools that genuinely stand out for the all-round quality of education they offer. Of the 250 schools named only a handful are London, co-educational, senior schools – making the relatively young school’s inclusion even more impressive. 

Of the recognition, Head, Susan Brooks said:  

“Being included in Talk Education’s Top 250 UK Schools is a wonderful recognition of the exceptional staff and students who make London Park Schools Clapham what it is. It reflects the hard work, ambition and strength our students demonstrate every day, alongside the commitment of our teachers who challenge them to think and learn differently. It is hugely validating to see our modern, forward-thinking approach to secondary education recognised, affirming our belief that it is not only working, but represents the future. Thank you to you, our parent community, for the trust, partnership and support you show us every day, this recognition belongs to all of us. We are incredibly proud of our students and staff, and excited about what lies ahead as we continue to grow and evolve.”
