What makes Lord Wandsworth College different?

Attain asked the school, what makes Lord Wandsworth College different – and why should parents consider it?

It was 1922, when founder, Sydney Stern began 'widening worlds' and transforming the lives of orphaned children. The aim was simple; to expand their opportunities and watch them flourish. Over a hundred years later, the ethos remains the same for all. With an expansive curriculum and inspirational teachers, they encourage all students to forge their own paths; exploring futures more exciting than they could ever have imagined. When their youngest pupils join in Year 7, they are immersed in the welcoming surroundings of Junior House, with its own playing fields, gardens and nurturing environment. In Year 9, students are invited into one of the seven senior houses, where they become part of a supportive and dynamic community that spans the year groups and includes both day and boarding pupils. In their record-breaking Sixth Form, LWC welcomes students to study a wide range of A-level and BTEC courses as they prepare for the ways in which they will shape our ever-changing world. And for international boarders, the College offers a home from home and the opportunity to thrive in breathtaking surroundings, just an hour from London.
