History
Salcombe Preparatory School first opened in 1916 under the leadership of the Deakin sisters: Freda Deakin and Ethel Deakin in Hornsey. The school initially educated eight "well to do" children.
In 1917, with World War I ongoing, and the advent of Zeppelin raids, it was decided that the school could not operate in Hornsey and the Deakin sisters took the students to their country residence, Salcombe House, in Devon. In 1918, upon returning to London, the sisters relocated their school to Avenue Road in Southgate close to the current site on Chase Side.
Between 1977 and 1990, the school was run by Ms. FloodScript error: No such module "Unsubst". and her husband Ernest Lawn. The school was acquired by Asquith Court group in 1990 and the first headmaster was appointed - Anthony Blackhurst.
In 1998, the school needed to expand and the Green Road site was acquired for the lower years.[2] The Green Road building is Grade II listed with Historic England.[3][4]
