Fee-paying schools in KT9, Kingston upon Thames

5 within 3 miles of the district's centre, nearest first. Age ranges are each school's own statutory range, which is what decides whether it takes a given year group.

School	Distance	Ages	Takes
Shrewsbury House School	1.2 mi	4 to 14	All-through Boys Selective
Rowan Preparatory School	1.8 mi	2 to 11	Primary Girls
Kingswood House School	2.2 mi	7 to 16	All-through
Surbiton High School	2.5 mi	4 to 18	All-through Selective Christian
Westbury House School	2.9 mi	2 to 11	Primary

None of these carries an Ofsted grade, and that is not a bad sign. Fee-paying schools are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, not Ofsted, and the ISI publishes no open data feed. A missing rating here means we cannot see one, never that the school was judged poorly. Fees are not published as open data either, so they are not shown.
