WELCOME TO THE JACK & JILL FAMILY OF SCHOOLS
Welcome to The Jack & Jill Family of Schools – a group of three independent schools providing education since 1951. The Family of Schools is now one of the few remaining family-owned-and-run educational establishments in the UK.
Our family consists of three schools
° Jack & Jill Nursery, Twickenham
° Nightingale House, Reception & Pre-Preparatory School, Hampton
° Clarence House Preparatory School, Hampton Hill
All three schools focus on nurturing the unique potential in every child.
“Sending my child to Jack & Jill School has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. The nurturing environment and dedicated staff truly make it feel like a second home. My child has not only excelled academically but has also grown emotionally and socially. Jack & Jill School is more than just a school; it’s a supportive community that fosters both learning and love.”
Nursery parent, May 2024

The Family of Schools
One of the few remaining family-owned-and-run schools in the country
“[Thank you] for all of your hard work, devotion, encouragement and tireless help in teaching [my daughter]. It has been a delight to see her development over the past year, and to see her grow, not only in maturity but academically also. Above all, your warmth towards her is most cherished. Personally, it has been a privilege for you to teach [my daughter] and to continue the bond that I have to Jack and Jill, being an old girl alum myself!”
Family of Schools Minibus Service
Our school transport offering is in keeping with our founder, Molly Papirnik’s, dedication to her students’ education – she spent many years collecting and dropping off pupils in her car, which she nicknamed Mildred, at the beginning and end of the school day. Today, our service is far more refined! We offer a comprehensive and flexible transport network through a fleet of minibuses operated by the Family of Schools.
There are two options when booking minibus transport for your child – our inter-school routes and our external routes:
External Routes:
Parents can book for transport to and from school on any of our external routes serving Hounslow/Isleworth, East Sheen/Richmond and Kingston/New Malden. The fee for our minibus service is covered under all breakfast club and after school club bookings.
All children – including those in our nursery – can use this service and are accompanied on their journey by qualified minibus escorts employed by the school. Return routes operate to all locations with staggered pick up times so that the older pupils can access the full range of after school clubs and complete their homework prior to leaving for home.
Inter-School Routes:
Our inter-school minibus service operates everyday between the three schools. This is a great option for siblings attending school across the different sites or students who live closer to one of the schools they are not attending. Parents can drop the children to their closest site and the Inter-school bus will take them the rest of the journey to school.
