The Building
Bassett House is located in North Kensington, in proximity to Ladbroke Grove and Latimer Road. Bassett House was built towards the end of the 19th century and what was originally designed as a large family house now provides spacious classrooms.
The entire building was substantially rebuilt in 2001. The school premises include the church hall at St Helen's Church, just around the corner from 60 Bassett Road, providing an assembly hall with a stage and gymnasium, three classrooms, a kitchen and a garden.
The main school building has a playground which doubles as a basket ball or netball court. Children are taken on most days to a nearby park for additional sports and recreation.
