Lord Wandsworth College is a co-ed independent boarding and day school (11-18), set in 1200 acres of rolling hills and wooded valleys on the Hampshire/Surrey border.
LWC inspires students to carve original paths and seize the unseeable.
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. Character Education and Pupil Voice underpin a progressive all-round education, with high aspirations for all.
When their youngest pupils join 1ST Form (Year 7), they are immersed in the welcoming surroundings of Junior House, with its own playing fields, gardens and nurturing environment. A genuine sense of purposeful engagement and enthusiasm to grab every opportunity is part of the DNA of the College; to try, to fail forward and ultimately to fly.
In Third Form (Year 9), pupils 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.
Full, weekly and flexi-boarding are all on offer, with flexi being the most popular option. It’s homely, pupil focused and seamlessly supports busy family life.
And for international boarders, the College offers a home from home and the opportunity to thrive in breathtaking surroundings, just an hour from London.
Lord Wandsworth College is located near Hook, less than an hour from Heathrow Airport and ten minutes from Hook Station, which has a direct connection to Waterloo.
FROM THE HEADMASTER
“The future has never been more uncertain. And we passionately believe that the best way for students to face it is to broaden their perspectives and allow themselves space to explore. The more certain a path seems, the more sure you can be that it’s treading old ground. Tomorrow’s visionaries will find and connect new dots and build new ideas. And none of us will have seen them coming. Our job at LWC is to widen your children’s worlds, so they can own the uncertainty in front of them instead of being afraid of it. So they too can seize the unseeable and surprise us all. I hope that’s as exciting to you as it is to us.”
Adam Williams, Headmaster
