Trevor-Roberts School is an independent day school for boys and girls aged from 5 to 13 years. Pupils are prepared for examinations at either 11+ (mostly girls) or 13+ Common Entrance into the main London day schools and boarding schools.
Trevor-Roberts was founded by the late Christopher Trevor-Roberts and, after many years in the Vale of Health, moved to its present premises in Eton Avenue in 1981. The neighboring house at No.55 Eton Avenue was acquired in 1994, enabling the opening of the Junior Department in 1995.
Simon Trevor-Roberts, who has taught at the school since 1983, is Headmaster and Amanda Trevor-Roberts, his sister, is Head of the Junior Department. Trevor-Roberts School is co-educational, taking boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 13 in preparation for examinations to independent schools.
The Junior Department takes children between the ages of 5 and 9 and it is expected that the majority of children continue into the Senior Department. Although the two departments are integrated into aims and spirit, children in the Junior Department have separate classrooms, a play area, and a lunchroom.
High success rates throughout the school are achieved through small classes and individual attention. Academic and social self-confidence and a sense of responsibility are built up in a happy atmosphere, geared to increasing motivation and encouraging pupils to fulfill their potential. Children are encouraged to work to the best of their ability and to find their own highest level of achievement.
Close liaison is maintained between the school and parents, and progress reports are sent home over the year. Parents are advised on suitable schools for their children. The Heads of both departments are available to discuss any issue, either academic or personal, that arises during the term.
Our main intake is at five years old and children will start at Trevor-Roberts in the September of the calendar year in which they turn five. Prospective pupils are assessed in the September and October of the year before entry and offers of definite places are made by November. Children can be registered for a possible assessment after parents have had a personal tour of the school and meeting with the Head of the Junior Department, usually when the child is a few months old. These tours are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Following the birth of their child, parents can request a prospectus by contacting the Junior Department. After receipt of our prospectus, which includes our terms and conditions, parents can contact the Junior Department again to put their names on a waiting list for a tour of the school.
