The Eaton House Group of Schools

The Eaton House Group of Schools is a group of private schools, all situated in London.[1][2] It is composed of the Eaton House the Manor Nursery, Eaton House the Manor Pre-Preparatory, Eaton House the Manor Preparatory, Eaton House the Manor Girls' School, Eaton House Belgravia Pre-Preparatory, and Eaton House Belgravia Preparatory. The group became a limited liability company, with Sovereign Capital becoming the majority shareholder, when principal Hilary Harper retired and sold the company in 2016.[3][4] The schools are non-selective at ages 3 and 4. In June 2021, Eaton House Schools became part of the Dukes Education group of schools.

The schools have a non-denominational Christian ethos,[5] and a carol service at the local church is a regular occurrence every year.[6] Places are allocated on a first-come first-served basis, sometimes with regard to those with previous family connections with the school.[7] In one reported case in 2017, 160 students applied for around 30 places at the Manor at age 4.[8]). The group is a member of the Independent Association of Prep Schools.[9]
