- You would never know, looking at its modern buildings, that Colfe’s is one of the oldest schools in London. Granted a charter by Elizabeth I in 1574 and bombed during the Second World War, it was relocated and rebuilt on its current site in 1964 and stands out for its superlative sports facilities, including playing fields and a sports centre with a full-size swimming pool.
- Colfe’s is fully coeducational from ages 3-18. About one in four pupils benefit from some form of financial assistance — either academic scholarships that offer 10-50 per cent reductions in fees, co-curricular scholarships offering 10-20 per cent, or means-tested scholarships of up to 100 per cent.
- The school has risen up the ranks of the league tables in the past few years. In 2024, 87 per cent of A-levels were A*-B and 27 per cent were the top grade, A*. More than 90 per cent of Colfe’s leavers go on to their first-choice university.
- Alumni include the Conservative politician James Cleverly.
