The Present School
Colet Court now forms part of a single school campus on the Barnes site. Colet Court and St Paul's continue to function largely separately, though they do share many facilities, such as their lunch hall, sports centre and some sports fields.
Colet Court is an all-boys school and teaches pupils from age 7 to age 13. Entry is by examination at age 7, age 8 and age 11. Providing that a pupil is progressing normally academically, it is expected that all boys will go on to St. Paul's at age 13. There are currently about 435 pupils, who are all day boys. The current headmaster is Mr Tim Meunier (formerly of Clifton College).
The Tatler Schools Guide says that Colet Court
- "attracts boys who are naturally gifted and hardworking (half-term holidays are cheekily called 'remedies'). Colet Court is one of the strongest London preps for games and arguably the best for music. Alongside Westminster it is the top boys' prep in the capital."

—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.”
