Wetherby School, Notting Hill

At our school, we deliver a bespoke academic curriculum, which is dynamic in content and promotes accelerated learning to lead our boys to excellent outcomes. With over seven decades of experience delivering first-rate independent education, we aim to equip pupils with an impressive range of practical and intellectual skills that not only establish a solid foundation for future learning but also prepare them for successful admission to London’s top schools.

We believe that an enriching education is most effective when tailored to each child’s learning style and pace. As such, our syllabus integrates modern and traditional subject matter and is taught using a child-centred model informed by best practices. Our teachers take the time to understand boys’ needs, encourage curiosity, and extend learners’ knowledge where possible to help them unlock their full potential.

Our curriculum is broad, balanced, engaging and challenging. Strong reading, writing and numeracy skills are vital, and teachers plan the syllabus carefully to ensure that it establishes these essential competencies while offering continuity in learning and pupil progression. The school’s core principle is to cultivate an inspiring setting where all boys work to the very best of their ability. At our school, our pupils strive to succeed and have fun while doing so.

In Reception, the aim is to establish a strong foundation for future learning through both structured and child-initiated activities. As children progress through school, teachers increase their efforts to refine their academic skills. We offer as many engaging opportunities for learning and development as possible to thoroughly prepare our boys for their respective 7+ or 8+ entrance examinations.
