We are extremely proud to announce that we have been awarded the Small Independent School of the Year. Mrs Hall and Mrs Jenner proudly accepted the award at the ceremony in central London.

This prestigious recognition is a testament to the dedication of Lyonsdown’s staff, the enthusiasm and excellence of their pupils, and the strengthen of the school community. We are immensely proud of this achievement.

Reflecting on the award, Mrs Rittu Hall said:

“I am incredibly proud that Lyonsdown has been named Small Independent Prep School of the Year. This award is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the energy of our pupils, and the strength of our parent community. At Lyonsdown, we believe in nurturing every girl to thrive in a small, nurturing but academically ambitious environment and this recognition celebrates that commitment.”

The journey at Lyonsdown from Pre-Reception to Year 6 is one that shapes extraordinary individuals, not in spite of our small size but because of it. You can tend a garden more easily than a forest, and every flower, bud, and tree - on their way to becoming Mighty Oaks - is carefully nurtured by dedicated staff. The powerful combination of a pupil-led curriculum and passionate teaching, creates a learning journey that we are incredibly proud of. The award reflects the message reinforced in our recent school brand video: Everything we do is truly for our girls.

We would like to extend our thanks to the Independent Schools of the Year Awards for recognising us with this honour.
