The Cavendish School
Welcome to The Cavendish School
Our girls do brilliantly because they are encouraged.
We foster a lively atmosphere of warm support, full of fun and laughter; one that builds the confidence to take risks, explore interests and engage with the world and with each other. We achieve this by combining exceptional pastoral care, dedicated and talented staff teaching small classes, and state of the art facilities in Camden Town. And we really know and care deeply about each of the girls.
As a result, despite being non-selective, we attain remarkable academic successes and our pupils at 11+ transfer to excellent senior schools, often with scholarships.

Mens Sana In Corpore Sano
1 month agoLinda and the team from Accent Catering really do spoil us every day, but for the end of term lunch they excelled themselves. Thank you all so much for nourishing us, body and soul. We miss your food in the holidays!
Great Art Displays
1 month agoTowards the end of term, a lot of the wonderful work comes down from displays for our girls to take home. Luckily we always have some extra to put up so the walls aren't completely bare for the new year!
Welcome Back!

Prizegiving

Thank You Parents
1 month agoA big thank you to the parents of our graduating class for their very thoughtful gift of a bespoke lectern for use in our performing arts hall. It certainly passes the William Morris 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful' test. We are alrea...
Thank You Ms Boyt
1 month agoWe bid a very fond farewell to Ms Boyt in this morning's assembly. Ms Boyt has been working at the school since 2003, as a teacher, deputy head, head of early years and safeguarding lead, but her association goes back longer as her 3 daughters all attended. In that time she has cared for and sup...
Year 6 Portraits
1 month agoThe girls in Year 6 have produced some fabulous portraits with imaginative and bold use of colour - their new schools will be very pleased to have these fine artists join them in Year 7 in September!
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.
