Guildhouse School

Guildhouse School occupies 43-45 Bloomsbury Square in central London, teaching students aged 14 to 18. It is a member of CIFE, the professional association for independent sixth form colleges. The location is the obvious draw: Bloomsbury Square sits between the British Museum and UCL, and the school makes use of that setting through its wider programme. Alongside A-Levels it runs Pre-A Level and University Foundation Programme routes, with university partnerships for students progressing through the foundation year. The published A-Level list is short at eight subjects plus the Extended Project Qualification, covering the sciences, business, history, psychology and sociology. If you want a specialist or creative subject this is not the college for it, but the core academic subjects are all there. Boarding is in purpose built single and double en-suite bedrooms with house parents available around the clock. Tuition and accommodation are charged separately, with UK tuition at £21,510 a year for 2026-27. The school also runs a scholarships programme.
