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.

What age groups are your programs suitable for?We offer programs designed specifically for students aged 11–17 as well as for young adults aged 18 and older. Programs for adults are developed in partnership with prestigious institutions like Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, and LSE.
What level of English is required?English proficiency requirements vary depending on the selected school and program. Our catalogue offers a variety of courses suitable for all proficiency levels, from beginners (A1–B1) to advanced (C1+). We ensure each student finds the right fit and recommend Foundation Year programs to improve your communication skills and smoothly adapt to the new culture.
Is admission guaranteed?Admission to a specific school cannot be guaranteed, as the final decision always rests with the institution itself. However, with our extensive experience and deep understanding of the admissions process, we objectively evaluate each student’s chances. We recommend applying to multiple schools and considering Foundation Year to maximize your opportunities. Since our consultations are completely free, the only financial commitment required upfront is the school’s admission fee, paid directly to the institution upon application.
How much do Edvision services cost?Our consultations, school selection, and full support throughout the admission process are provided completely free of charge. You only pay tuition fees directly to your chosen educational institution. Contact us for detailed advice on choosing a school, budgeting, and admission assistance! More on budget planning.
Do you provide visa support for the UK?We assist families throughout the UK student visa process and ensure all required documentation is prepared correctly and on time. Once a student receives an official offer from a UK private school, the school issues a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) and formal invitation documents.
