Colet Court
Colet Court is an independent school and preparatory school for boys aged 7 to 13 in Barnes, London. It forms the preparatory department of St Paul's School, to which most Colet Court pupils go at the age of 13.
==History==
The school was founded in 1881 (as "Bewsher's") by Samuel Bewsher, an Assistant Master of St Paul's School and secretary to the High Master. It started with 6 pupils at a house in Edith Road, West Kensington. At about this time, St Paul's School was relocated from the vicinity of St Paul's Cathedral to new buildings in nearby Hammersmith.
In 1883, Bewsher's preparatory school was incorporated into the St Paul's School foundation, and moved into a new building (which still stands at 100 Hammersmith Road, W6 7JP) called Colet House opposite the then St Paul's School had more than 300 pupils and had more new buildings to accommodate them completed in 1890. In 1892 it changed its name from Colet House to Colet Court. The name derives from John Colet, the original founder of St Paul's School.
When in 1968 St Paul's School moved again, to its present site in bend of the river Thames at Barnes, Colet Court moved with it. In the 1970s the old buildings became the production base of Thames Television's Euston Films subsidiary, with standing sets for shows like ''The Sweeney'' constructed in the old gymnasium. The main building is still known as Colet Court and is an extended office building behind the façade that is a grade II listed building.〔()〕 The replacement school buildings in Barnes are soon to be seriously redeveloped in accordance with the Colet Court and St Paul's School building project.
