Welcome to Oliver House
Oliver House Preparatory School is an independent, co-educational day school that combines high academic standards with a deeply rooted Catholic ethos. Situated in an outstanding location, overlooking Clapham Common, the school has grown rapidly since its foundation in 2004. A second phase of development has recently seen the addition of extra teaching accommodation and facilities from September 2009.
About six years ago, the shortage of places in Catholic schools in the Wandsworth area led a group of concerned parents to seek the support of an educational trust called PACT to help them start a new school. PACT had already founded a highly successful school called Oakwood in the 1990s and agreed to support the project. The resulting partnership between PACT and Wandsworth parents has been a fruitful one and, in September 2004, Oliver House emerged as the 'sister school' of Oakwood.
Back in 2004 there were only a handful of pupils, but the school has grown rapidly since then and there are now well over 160 Oliver House children. In September 2007 a brand new nursery was added, and the facilities were extended further in September 2009 to house the Prep School.
