Dallington School

8 Dallington Street, London, EC1V 0BW

Independent school for ages 3–11 in London. Mixed intake.

Dallington School is a small non-selective mixed independent school in Islington, teaching around 60 children aged 3 to 11, with nursery classes. Ofsted rated it Requires improvement in January 2022, when independent-school standards were not all met; a later ISI inspection in October 2024 found standards and safeguarding met.

The school says it was founded in 1978 by Mogg Hercules to offer an alternative, creative, child-centred learning environment. It describes an informal, holistic and creative approach where children have a voice, can make mistakes, question and challenge.
