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.
Scholarships
Scholarships are not central to the school’s offer, because continuity, cultural identity and curriculum alignment seem to matter far more than awards. Families who need practical information about fees or support should ask directly.

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.
Assessment approach
Assessment at The Japanese School is closely aligned to Japanese curricular expectations and to the needs of families seeking continuity between countries. Parents should expect a clear, structured approach designed to keep pupils moving smoothly within the Japanese system while they are in London.
