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.
