The Spring 2024 Edition of The Guide to Independent Schools is out now!
At the Independent Schools Show held in London in November, Suzie Longstaff, the Principal of the new London Park Schools (LPS) group and former head of Putney

High School GDST, talked to me about how LPS is adopting a different approach to entry to education. The group aims to offer an alternative to the ultra-competitive, ?hothouse? teaching that?s sometimes associated with London schools. It also doesn?t have entrance exams, and offers pupils a more creative, cross-curricular experience. And it?s an attitude that?s spreading beyond the capital ? find out more on page 36.
It?s just over two years since Russia invaded Ukraine, displacing millions of people, including children whose education was also disrupted. On page 50 we look at three independent schools who have not only offered fully funded places to Ukrainian refugee schoolchildren, but essentially given them some semblance of normality too. And nominations are now open for the Independent Schools of the Year 2024 Awards ? now in its seventh year! The focus of the awards is to celebrate the demonstrated benefits of an independent-school education and showcase the true student experience.
