'''Charterhouse Square School''' is an independent, non-selective, co-educational day school with 200 children aged 3 to 11, situated in the [[Barbican]] area of the City of London. It occupies a five-story Victorian building overlooking [[Charterhouse Square]] near what used to be a [[Carthusian]] monastery.

Charterhouse is a member of [http://www.cognitaschools.co.uk/ Cognita Schools], an association of independent schools in UK and Ireland. Despite sharing a similar name, it is not affiliated or related to [[Charterhouse School]], a [[Public school (UK)|public]] boarding school which was originally founded near the square before moving to its current location in [[Godalming]], [[Surrey]].

==Curriculum==
The 2009 [[Ofsted]] inspection rated Charterhouse's curriculum and teaching as "good". Many former pupils go on to leading independent schools in London including [[City of London School for Girls]], [[City of London School]], [[Forest School (Walthamstow)|Forest School]] and [[Highgate School]].<ref>[http://www.charterhousesquareschool.co.uk/results-destinations.html Results/Destinations]</ref>

Classrooms are colour-coded by age and ability rather than class.
*Green Room - rising 4 years
*Red Room - rising 5 years
*Yellow Room - rising 6 years
*Blue Room - 6/7 years
*Rainbow & Raindrop Rooms - 7/8 years
*Balloon & Kite Rooms - 8/9 years
*Star Room - 10/11 years

The ages given are guidelines only. When deciding on a year group, the school's policy is to look at the child's ability as opposed to their date of birth. Any child who is performing academically and socially above expectations has the opportunity to skip a class (subject to a place being available).<ref>[http://www.charterhousesquareschool.co.uk/typical-school-day.html Typical school day]</ref>
