Welcome!

Herne Hill School is an independent Pre-Prep and Nursery well known within its area of South-East London as an oasis of happy learning and as the largest feeder into the Dulwich Foundation Schools. We are a member of the Independent Schools Association, the Independent Schools Council and the National Day Nurseries Association.

By focusing on Early Years education, we have developed a strong expertise in making the critical transition from Nursery to School seamless.

Children joining our Nursery or Kindergarten can avoid the disruption of a 4+ change and have continuity for up to five years in what are arguably their most important formative years. Children joining in Reception also benefit from the smooth progression from a play-based learning approach to more structured lessons.

Our pupils consistently achieve excellent results, with the vast majority moving on to the local school of their choice. We invite you to explore our website and to contact us for further information or to visit the school – the only real way to experience our unique atmosphere.
