Educational Excellence at Wandsworth Mills

We recently hosted an exclusive evening at Wandsworth Mills with Tatler’s esteemed Education Editor, Tori Cadogan and South West London’s leading headteachers: Rupert Hawkins of Thomas’s Battersea and Michael Hodge of Broomwood Schools, both of which are close to our development.

Speaking to a packed audience, the panel provided valuable insights into how to give your child the best educational start in life. The conversation covered admissions and exams, the values of each school, extra-curricular activities and field trips as well as how each school supports the local community through a number of initiatives. We also heard from Dr Ma who runs popular WeChat platform ‘Raising Kids in the UK’, who gave first hand insights of her experience raising children in London having come from overseas.

Tori Cadogan, Tatler’s Education Editor, commented: "It really was the most fabulous evening. Wandsworth offers an exceptional educational landscape, with great schools on the doorstep that emphasise both academic excellence and holistic development, ensuring that children are not only well-educated but also happy and well-rounded."
