South London’s leading co-educational school for children aged 4-18, rooted in history and focused on the future.
At Alleyn’s, we believe in the transformative power of education—where academic excellence goes hand in hand with joy, wellbeing and possibility. We are a forward-thinking, values-led school rooted in a rich history yet firmly focused on the future.
From our foundation by the actor and philanthropist Edward Alleyn in 1619, to our pioneering AiQ curriculum today, Alleyn’s has always stood for more than results. Our aim is to help young people grow into kind, curious, courageous individuals—ready to lead, to contribute, and to thrive.
We recognise wonderful exam results are a by-product of an outstanding values-driven education. Our school values, the Alleyn’s ROCCK (Respect, Opportunity, Curiosity, Courage and Kindness), are embedded across the school from which staff and pupils can draw power and purpose.
At Alleyn’s we are proud to be All We Can Be: the spirit of possibility is boundless.
Rather like the original Renaissance scholars, we see exam results as a by-product of the education we offer, not the central goal.
Alleyn’s has a wonderful history that we cherish along with a desire to remain at the forefront of education. Our School’s origins can be traced back to the enterprising Edward Alleyn in 1619.
Today, Alleyn’s is one of the foremost co-educational HMC schools.
Our manifesto summarises our ambitions, aspirations and motivations for enabling your child to become all they can be at Alleyn’s.
