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 sta, guides pupils towards the highest levels of attainment and success.
Each boy is assigned a personal university tutor to support study plans in the UK and across Europe, and our two US Advisors assist with North American applications. In just three years, our sixth formers have received over 40 oers to study in the USA or Canada.
Extracurricular: Sport is compulsory, so our Marylebone site has a strength and conditioning suite, spin studio, and boxercise studio. Pupils also visit Ealing Trailfinders each week. Our Drama Department produces three productions annually, with opportunities on- and o-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 pupilled 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 22 joined top universities around the globe. Of those staying in the UK, 76% are now at Russell Group universities but, since 47% of that cohort applied abroad, we now have nine Class of 22 alumni in the US (including at Ivy League institution, Pennsylvania), five in Canada, and four in Spain, Italy or The Netherlands.
