Welcome from the Headmaster
What you will find here is something very special, which recognises the essential nature of the role that parents play in the education of their children.
What is the PEP?
Most schools involve parents via reports, emails, parents’ evenings and newsletters; all-important in their own right. However, it is engagement that has produced the greatest effects on student outcomes, whether related to academic results, future salary, higher life expectancy, better mental health or enhanced parent-child relationships.
Surrounded by countryside, Lord Wandsworth College is a co-educational, independent school with a flexible boarding policy, a 'stretch and challenge' model of education, and an innovative Saturday programme
LWC accepts boarding and day students from ages 11 to 18, and is a medium-sized school for around 600 girls and boys. The majority come from the surrounding counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire; a small number of students come from overseas.
Curriculum
LWC offers a traditional British education that works towards GCSE and A Level qualifications. The class sizes are average, around 18 students, with some much smaller.
Sports and the arts
While LWC is proud of its rugby heritage, it is a school that offers sport for all. LWC offers 11 mainstream sports from tennis, athletics, cricket, rugby, netball and football to cricket, canoeing and horse riding.
Beyond the classroom
Combined Cadet Force is strong at LWC and there is a fantastic opportunity to “get flying hours” in powered aircraft, through the Air Cadets Flying Experience, as well as learning skills such as First Aid, Climbing, Kayaking, Sailing and the Mountain Leader Award.
Academic results
LWC is not top of the leagues tables for results, but they are well above the national average – and improving, year on year.
Boarding
LWC offers day or boarding schooling, with flexi, weekly or full boarding options all being available – which can be a huge benefit to working parents with unpredictable work or family commitments. All students are members of a boarding house to help bring together the day and boarding communities.
Campus and facilities
LWC is set in 1,200 acres on the borders of Surrey and Hampshire, one hour from London, and surrounded by farmland.
