About us

The London Nautical School was founded in 1915, as a consequence of the official report into the loss of the “Titanic”. In 1990, it became one of the country’s first 11-18 comprehensive secondary schools for boys to be awarded grant maintained status.

In September 1999, we became a Foundation School within the London Borough of Lambeth. The school is situated in Stamford Street on the south bank of the River Thames, in between Blackfriars Bridge and Waterloo Bridge.

The uniform of the London Nautical School is unique and adds much to the character and ethos of the school.

The Pupil Code States:

“Full uniform must be worn properly on all School occasions. The wearing of earrings and other items of jewellery is not permitted and hair styles must be in keeping with the uniform of the School”.

If a boy arrives at school without the correct uniform the following procedure will be followed:

  • The pupil should have a letter of explanation from his parents and should obtain a green card from his Form Tutor. If he will be out of uniform for more than two days the card must be countersigned by his Head of Year, who will also decide on a reasonable time-scale for sorting out the problem and add to this date to the card.
  • During Parade pupils’ names and their reasons for being out of uniform are recorded. Once each week during afternoon registration Form Tutors will carry out a uniform check. When necessary a Period Six detention, during Wednesday afternoon will be given.
  • If boys are persistently out of uniform, the Assistant Headmaster will contact his parent(s) to establish the reason.
