About the school

A thriving extracurricular programme complements strong A-level results, in which 65 per cent of grades were A*-B in 2024.
Clubs cover interests from crochet to cross-country at the school in Ham in Richmond, southwest London. About 80 sports teams take part in hundreds of fixtures each year, winning numerous regional titles and competing at national level.
Two annual awards ceremonies celebrate achievements in the visual and performing arts: the Grey Court School Oscars celebrates work by art, drama, music tech, media and music students, while the Mogos (music of Grey Court origin) are a showcase for the school’s singers.
Alumni at the school, which opened in 1956, include the England footballer Declan Rice and the actress Ruby Bentall, who starred in the BBC’s Poldark and Lark Rise to Candleford.
