School Philosophy: An extraordin­ary London school, a springboar­d to the world. In our 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 full potential, which is proudly reflected in the places that our alumni hold at top universiti­es in the UK and overseas.

Academic Record: Our rigorous curriculum, taught by dynamic and experience­d sta , guides pupils towards the highest levels of attainment and future success. In our Sixth Form, bespoke guidance includes each boy assigned a personal university tutor to support study plans in the UK and across Europe, and two US Advisors are available to assist with North American applicatio­ns.

Co-curricular: Clubs range from cookery to coding, and from Young Enterprise to yoga. Sport is compulsory across all years so, at our Marylebone site, we have a strength and conditioni­ng suite, spin studio, boxercise studio, and yoga space, plus pupils use Ealing Trailfinde­rs several times a week. Our Drama Department produces three production­s annually, with opportunit­ies for boys on-stage or behind-the-scenes. Our Music Department teaches all in Year 7 a brass instrument and provides tuition in other instrument­s, while our music ensembles and Choir hold termly concerts. Our pupil-led magazine, The Barometer, provides a great chance for our young writers, editors, and photograph­ers to see their work in print.

Notable Achievemen­ts and Alumni: Wetherby Senior’s Class of 2022 held over 120 o ers at UK universiti­es (including Russell Group institutio­ns), at top universiti­es in France, Spain and Italy, and at North American colleges, including NYU, Berkeley, UPenn, Babson, Northeaste­rn, Notre Dame, and Toronto. In just three years, our alumni have received forty o ers to study in the USA and Canada, at universiti­es like Georgetown, UCSD, University of Chicago, and UCLA, as well as a D1 Football Scholarshi­p to Akron.

Open Days: We hold an autumn open day, a summer open evening,

and visitor mornings throughout the year.
