Admissions

Admissions at The Japanese School should appeal primarily to Japanese and Japan-connected families who want full-time Japanese schooling in London rather than a mainstream UK prep. The school should suit parents seeking continuity of language, curriculum and culture for children who may move between London and Japan or want to remain within the Japanese system.

How the school describes itself

  • The school is culturally rooted, internationally recognised and continuity focused, and aims to give pupils a secure Japanese educational pathway in London.

Parents like

  • Will suit Japanese and Japan-connected families who want full-time Japanese schooling and strong curriculum continuity while living in London.

Inspection snapshot

The overall picture is highly distinctive and community serving, with the school describing itself as the only full-time Japanese school in the UK and stressing recognition by Japanese and British authorities. Parents should judge it on educational continuity and cultural fit, because the decisive question is whether a full-time Japanese school in London matches the family’s long-term plan.
