We are so pleased that our daughter - and our whole family - is a part of The Cavendish School community.
It really is a special place, tucked away in the middle of Camden.
The enthusiasm of the teachers is amazing, but what is most impressive is the positive and confident character of the girls. A truly special place.
It's a lovely school. The girls are very happy and so are we.
We fell in love with the school the moment we set foot in it and have not been disappointed.
