Independent Schools Show, Thursday 4th March 2027

From nursery and prep to senior school and Sixth Form, explore the choices available and meet the people who can help you make the right decision.

Your Child’s Next School

Choosing a school involves much more than comparing academic results. Every child is different, and finding the right environment at the right stage can make all the difference.

The Independent Schools Show brings together leading London day schools, country prep schools and senior boarding schools, alongside education experts who can help you navigate the options.

Whether you’re considering your child’s first school, preparing for 7+, 11+ or 13+ entry, or looking ahead to Sixth Form, the Show provides an opportunity to explore schools, ask questions and make informed decisions.

Meet headteachers and admissions teams, discover schools you may not have considered and hear practical advice from leading education experts.

One day. Dozens of schools. A wealth of independent advice.
