Located within the precincts of Westminster Abbey, the school still inhabits some of its medieval buildings but the education here is firmly future facing. Highly academically selective, the culture encourages intellectual risk-taking, with pupils expected to read, question, and challenge and learn for the love of learning. All these qualities are embedded in its prep school Westminster Under School. This competitive and stimulating environment is an excellent preparation for entry into top universities across the globe (50% secure Oxbridge and Ivy League places). Alumni have careers that range from tech entrepreneurs, actors and musicians to being Prime Minister (6 at the last count). Numerous pupil run Societies compete with debating, music, theatre productions and sporting opportunities to create a well rounded experience. The recent announcement to go co-ed from 2028 means girls from 13+ will be able to take advantage of this stellar education.
