School philosophy: An extraordinary London school, a springboard to the world. In a fairly short history, Wetherby Senior has built a strong reputation as a forward-thinking, caring, and successful community. Our boys are encouraged - academically and socially – to realise their potential, which is proudly reflected in the places our alumni hold at top universities around the world.

Academic record: Our rigorous curriculum, taught by dynamic and experienced staff, guides pupils towards the highest levels of attainment and success.

From Year 11 (much earlier than most schools), each boy is assigned a personal university advisor to support plans to study in the UK and Europe, while US Advisors assist with North American applications. In just four years, our sixth formers have received over 50 offers to study in the USA or Canada. Extracurricular: Sport is compulsory, so our Marylebone site has a strength and conditioning suite, spin and boxercise studios, and yoga space. Pupils also visit Ealing Trailfinders each week to enjoy football, rugby, tennis, cricket and more. Our Drama Department produces three productions annually, with opportunities on- and off-stage. Our Music Department teaches all in Year 7 a brass or string instrument, and provides tuition in other instruments, while our ensembles and Choir perform termly concerts. Our pupil-led magazine, The Barometer, allows our young writers and photographers to see their work in print. Co-curricular clubs range from boxercise to board games, cookery to coding, and Young Enterprise to yoga.

Notable achievements and alumni: Wetherby Senior’s expertise in supporting higher education goals is reflected in our outstanding results. Our Class of 23 secured over 100 offers for top universities across the UK (with offers at 21 of the 24 Russell Group universities, including Cambridge, LSE, UCL and Imperial) and continental Europe, and more than a dozen offers for prestigious North American colleges, including the University of Pennsylvania (Ivy League), NYU, NYU Stern School of Business, and Canada’s McGill University.
