Edward Rees, Headmaster

Bevé Hornsby founded our school in 1988 and we remain true to her ethos, providing an inclusive and nurturing education for the 430 girls and boys, aged from 4-11, who occupy our fantastic purpose-built site between Balham and Wandsworth Common.

I feel very privileged to work with an extremely talented team of staff, all striving to strike a balance between high academic achievement and, most importantly, the excellent pastoral care that allows our children to thrive as confident and happy young people.

We have a reputation for being a very warm, nurturing and inclusive school and yet there is a very real academic rigour here, driven by an ambitious teaching staff and no better illustrated than by our outstanding 11+ results over the last five years.

We are not a school to stand still and with this in mind, the development and extension of the main school building, beginning in Autumn 2024, will improve and add to our existing facilities, providing us with, amongst other benefits, a much larger hall and extended and distinct spaces for Science, Modern Foreign Languages and Drama.

I warmly invite you to come and visit us to experience what makes Hornsby House School so special.
