The Roche School is an independent family owned, co-educational, nursery and primary school offering children a wide range of academic, creative and sporting opportunities in a family-orientated environment on the boundary of Putney and Wandsworth.
Our curriculum is taught by inspiring, committed teaching staff enabling pupils to fully achieve their potential whilst they are with us. Attitudes to learning are important too – we encourage pupils to enjoy challenge, working together and independently. In academic subjects, we run small classes which are attentive to matters of pace and understanding and our pupils go on to achieve places at top London day schools. We are committed to being a school comprising a diverse range of families and pupils who enjoy the dynamic culture at the school.
We are proud of our strong academic record and encourage pupils to excel.
The atmosphere of the school is happy and polite with the pastoral system emphasising the importance of kindness and respect for others.
“"My child said, "My school feels like a home to me" and that's all I need to hear as a parent."

This year signifies the 40th in the history of The Roche School from its early beginnings when Carmen first opened “Mrs Roche’s Coaching Establishment”, through the Dr Roche years and onto a new era with a young and enthusiastic Sophie Roche.
