Bancroft's School

Word From The Head

Alex Frazer

A warm welcome to Bancroft's. We are a long-established 7-18 independent school with an excellent reputation for academic success within a holistic and nurturing educational framework.
As an inclusive, cosmopolitan community, we hold the highest aspirations for every young person who joins us.

At home on a magnificent greenfield site in Woodford since 1889, but still connected to inner London by the Central Line and our own bus network, we remain committed to welcoming girls and boys from a wide range of backgrounds to enjoy an excellent education as members of our warm, vibrant and supportive Bancroft’s School community.

We are proudly devoted to scholarship and intellectual inquiry, and we believe that each child will truly flourish by combining academic endeavour with enthusiastic engagement in the wide range of co-curricular opportunities that we provide, while being supported and nurtured by our first-class pastoral care.

Our aim is for all Bancroftians to enjoy and make the most of their time at school, while developing the independence of mind and lasting confidence that will empower them to thrive in their future studies and adult lives.

If you might be interested in finding out more about what a Bancroft’s education could offer your son or daughter, we would be delighted to meet you. Please get in touch – you will be assured of a warm welcome.
