WELCOME TO
JACK & JILL SCHOOL
Welcome to Jack & Jill School, a very special, memorable early years setting that considers each child as a unique and important individual. It is not until you begin walking around our school and talking to the inspiring teachers and children that you realise what a hidden gem our school really is. Visitors can expect to be greeted by happy, chatty, confident and enthusiastic children who are actively engaged in playing and learning.
Our passionate team of early years teachers are the drivers of a well-balanced, diverse, stimulating and ambitious curriculum which we ensure all our children thrive on, regardless of age and developmental stage. The learning opportunities are limitless, and with our large garden and outdoor play areas, as well as light and airy classrooms, the children have plenty of space to explore within a safe and nurturing environment.
Our families and community are important to us, and therefore we work hard to nurture strong links between home and school, including organising parent events and regular parent class readers.
We simply can’t wait for you and your children to visit us and to find out more about why we think Jack & Jill School is a special and memorable school.
– Dr. Virginia Humpage, Pre-School Year Group Leader
“As parents, we have been continually amazed at how much you achieve with the girls. They work so hard and yet your magic is that they seem not to see it as “work” at all. My child’s academic progress has been fantastic and each year – from nursery nativities to Mary Poppins – we have been so impressed with the school’s drama and music.” Nursery parent

Jack & Jill School
“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.
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:
There is no charge for our inter-school minibus service which 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.
