What Eaton House Group of Schools does

Eaton House Group of Schools is a London-based private independent school group operating two single-sex campuses: Eaton House Belgravia (a co-educational nursery for ages 2-4 and boys' pre-prep for ages 4-8 in a mansion house setting) and Eaton House The Manor in Clapham (co-educational nursery, boys' school ages 4-13, and girls' school ages 4-11 on a 1.5-acre site). Founded in 1897, the group serves affluent London families seeking academically rigorous preparation for competitive entrance examinations to leading UK independent schools including Westminster, St Paul's, King's College Wimbledon, Eton, and Dulwich College.

The business is a fee-for-service education provider with no proprietary technology platform — its underlying delivery model is traditional classroom instruction supplemented by digital and collaborative learning tools, with up to 40 after-school clubs per campus covering music, art, drama, and sport. Revenue is generated through recurring tuition fees charged to families, with admissions accepted from birth and an extended-day/wraparound care offering layering additional revenue per family. The school runs a direct-to-consumer admissions process supported by a six-route bus network (with a proposed seventh Dulwich route in 2026), Open Days, and a parent referral community.

Eaton House operates as part of the Dukes Education network of independent schools and reports revenue figures as not publicly disclosed. The group has approximately 450 boys enrolled at The Manor alone, has been recognized in the 2025 Good Schools Guide, OFSTED, and ISI inspections with Outstanding ratings, and has produced a documented track record of placing leavers at top UK senior schools (around 60% of Belgravia leavers receiving offers from Westminster Under or St Paul's Junior School).

• The Pilgrims' School: Independent boys' prep school near Winchester targeting similar affluent families seeking traditional single-sex prep education with strong senior-school destinations including Winchester College.

Broad incumbents
