  The Greycourt School of 2017 is ambitious, grounded and - most importantly to me - cuts an authentic place for itself in a world where the concept of a truly powerful education is poorly understood and rarely realised. As a parent who's seen his son move through the last five years steadily and progressively - I see huge improvements each year. The Head Teacher has a powerful vision, works tirelessly for the good of the students and continues to build a reputation for aspiration, consistency and success both in terms of bringing thinking, richly equipped young adults into a challenging world and in terms of the extraordinary shift in academic achievement. The growing sense of community and purpose inherent in the culture of the school is self-evident in the rich and diverse range of events that the school and the Parents Association put on. Is every student a raging fan of Greycourt? Of course not. (Hence some of the negative voices articulated below.) But take just an hour to visit the school for yourself and you'll soon understand that this is school that values development, cherishes difference and puts to shame some of its more comfortable and wealthier neighbours.

  Grey Court has been great for both my kids, lots of sport, inspiring teachers and dedicated teaching. The whole school community has been supportive and welcoming. Proud to be part of it all.

  An excellent school that's improved massively in recent years and is now one of the best in South West London.

  So much for an "outstanding" school. I've seen way better. The main building is falling apart and is poorly constructed, the 6th form building is well constructed but the main school is definitely old and graffiti is everywhere. The food, well it's definitely not worth the price. The computers are terrible, limited air-conditioning (only in computer rooms and library) so in summer, we're basically suffering in heat during lessons. The school definitely needed to hire better teachers, some teachers actually don't teach us anything because it looks like they don't care about teaching and we never get to understand what they're trying to teach us because their activities were confusing and boring (although some of the teachers were great)
