The Mall School is an independent preparatory day school for boys, in Twickenham, London. The boys enter the pre-prep school at the age of 4. They then automatically transfer to the junior school, then eventually, the senior school before leaving for a range of senior schools at the age of 13. The majority of boys go on to some of the leading London day schools, particularly St. Paul's School, Hampton School and King's College School. Some pupils choose a wide range of boarding schools. As a prep school, The Mall School specialises in preparing boys for pre-tests, Common Entrance or Scholarship Entry to their senior school.
Facilities
School facilities include: a 160-seat theatre; science labs; an art studio; an ICT suite; a library; interactive whiteboards (throughout most of the school); an indoor swimming pool; an indoor sports hall; a library and rugby, football and cricket pitches in Bushy Park - one of the Royal Parks in London where deer can roam freely.
Link with Chitsime School (Malawi)
The Mall School has formed a partnership with Chitsime School in Malawi. It is the focus of many of the boys' fundraising activities and the boys aim to help the school in as many ways that are practicable. The boys are aware of the privileged situation they enjoy and the boys are highly motivated to support the partnership they have with Chitsime School boys.
In the last two years, the boys at The Mall have raised over £14,000 to provide brand new classrooms for Chitsime School for the boys.
