THE LYCEUM SCHOOL, LONDON

The Lyceum is a small co-educational independent preparatory school that very much punches above its weight in terms of the successful senior school entry results that our pupils achieve. Success is based on the hard work of our pupils, the support given to them by their families and the quality of teaching provided by the staff at The Lyceum. Close liaison with and discussion between parents and the school is also crucially important in agreeing a suitable and appropriate selection of possible senior school destinations.

Pupils are successful in achieving entry to senior schools, including those that are highly selective, with some pupils gaining scholarship awards.

Ages 11-16

Situated in iconic Piccadilly within a beautiful Grade I listed building by Robert Adam, LPS Mayfair (formerly Eaton Square Senior) blends historical charm with modern learning. Just a short walk from London’s renowned galleries, museums, and theatres, the school makes the most of the city’s rich cultural resources. Deliberately small, LPS Mayfair fosters a close-knit community where each student is nurtured, challenged, and supported to achieve their best. After completing GCSEs, students move on to LPS Sixth, a sixth form centre located near Victoria station.
