The 2025 Tatler Schools Guide features an awful lot of the Under School and Westminster School, with Adrian House gracing the cover as well as pictures featuring Vincent Square, Little Dean’s Yard, the library, Ashburnham House, and the sports centre.

And “what’s more, exciting changes are afoot,” with our move to full co-education and the introduction of a new pre-prep from 2026 noted. Registration is now open for girls at 7+ and 11+, and for boys and girls for the brand-new 4+ pre-prep.

Both schools are reviewed: “Academic excellence goes without saying here,” and “Who could wish for a better London location?” The guide also notes that “The children find like-minded friends for life. Head Kate Jefferson is praised as “dynamic and bright,” with a vision to “make a Westminster education available to as many children as possible.”

You can get your copy of the Tatler Schools Guide with this month’s print edition, out now, and also online.
