The schools and educational stage

Eaton Square Nursery Schools

Eaton Square Nursery schools are located across four sites in Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Pimlico and Eccleston Square.[1]

Eaton Square Prep School

Eaton Square Prep is a pre-preparatory and preparatory school for pupils aged 2 to 11.

Eaton Square Senior School

Eaton Square Mayfair is a private co-educational secondary day school for children aged 11–16, which opened in September 2017. It is based at 106 Piccadilly, a Grade I–listed townhouse in Mayfair.[2][3][4][5]

106 Piccadilly was built for Sir Henry Hunloke, 4th Baronet, from 1759 to 1761, perhaps by the architect Matthew Brettingham. It was later sold to George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry, for whom Robert Adam remodelled the first-floor rooms in 1765–1770; Adam had previously been engaged on the Earl's country house at Croome Court in Warwickshire. Further alterations were made by Thomas Cundy for the 7th Earl in 1810–1811. The St James's Club occupied the building from 1868 to 1975.[6]

The school is owned by Minerva Education, an independent school provider, which is owned in turn by a private equity firm run by the former JP Morgan banker Philip Rattle.[2] In 2017, fees were £22,500 a year.[2]
