Westminster School is one of the most prestigious and academically successful independent schools in the UK. Situated next to Westminster Abbey in Central London, it combines nearly 900 years of tradition with modern, high-achieving education.
Founded in the 12th century and re-established by King Henry VIII in 1540, Westminster has become a symbol of academic excellence and personal development. The school is selective, vibrant, and intellectually ambitious, drawing students from across the UK and internationally.
Academics and University Success
The school consistently ranks among the top in national academic league tables. In 2023, 92% of A-Level results were graded A*–A, and 98% of GCSE results were 9–7. An impressive number of pupils go on to Oxbridge (90 offers in 2024), as well as to Ivy League and Russell Group universities.
Boarding and Day Life
Westminster accepts boys from age 13 and both boys and girls into the Sixth Form (age 16+). About 25% of students are weekly boarders who stay in one of 11 boarding houses and go home for weekends. The school’s boarding culture is supportive, structured, and closely integrated with academic and co-curricular life.
Co-curricular Opportunities
With over 60 clubs and societies, pupils engage in music, drama, public speaking, coding, and sports (including fencing, rowing, rugby, and athletics). The Combined Cadet Force and enrichment programmes foster leadership, discipline, and creativity.
International Students and Support
Westminster welcomes students from all over the world, offering English language support (EAL), cultural integration activities, and mentorship. Around £1.5 million annually is allocated for scholarships and bursaries.
