Charterhouse is a classic English boarding school with all the traditions and accoutrements one would expect. Definitely a school with 'Harry Potter'-factor!
Charterhouse has excellent sports with football and golf being especially stong.
Charterhouse has strong creative credentials, with vibrant art- and design and technology departments.
The performing arts also deserve a mention, with theatre and music going from strength to strength.
The close proximity to London makes Charterhouse a popular choice with London families. On weekends a lot of pupils return home, which makes the school feel a bit empty at times.
The compulsory exeat weekends mean that pupils have to leave the school for those weekends.
