Gatehouse School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Gatehouse School is an independent co-educational day school for children aged 3 to 11, situated in the heart of east London. Run as a charitable trust and overseen by a board of governors, the school is committed to providing a creative, broad and balanced education that helps every child fulfil their individual potential. The school welcomes children of any race, colour, background and intellect, and is proud to reflect the rich diversity of its local community. Pupils come from within a five-mile radius and bring with them a wide range of experiences and perspectives. The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, offering additional help for needs including dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and autism, and also provides extension and enrichment activities for more able pupils. A significant number of children speak English as an additional language, with targeted support available for those who need it. With no streaming or segregation, children learn side by side, with the shared aim of developing each child's unique personality and helping them appreciate, and contribute to, the world around them.
