"I would defy anyone not to be inspired by the dedication we show in transforming lives. The kindness and integrity of our community only deepen the sense of belonging we foster."
Lord Wandsworth College is set in 1200 acres of rolling hills and wooded valleys on the Hampshire/Surrey border. The school 'inspires students to carve original paths and seize the unseeable'. The school has high aspirations for all with character education and pupil voice underpinning an all-round education. It aims to instil values of independence, self-awareness and purpose through its boarding provision, with full, weekly and flexi-boarding all on offer.
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.
Fees are set at four price points for full, weekly, flexi boarding and day pupils, with separate levels for junior and senior pupils.
LWC offers three main entry points: First Form (Year 7), Third Form (Year 9) and Sixth Form. Assessment is via a LWC Pre-Test and an assessment morning held at the school.
