Welcome to Wetherby School, a prestigious independent education for boys in central London. Wetherby School has built an unrivalled reputation over the last 70+ years for exceptional academic provision and the inspiring success stories of our many accomplished alumni.We prepare boys to excel in their 7+ and 8+ exams, and they consistently obtain the best results in London. Exemplary outcomes and unparalleled holistic and tailored preparation ensure pupils progress smoothly to the UK’s top prep schools and stand out from their peers.

A meticulously planned curriculum maximises each boy’s potential from an early age. Pupils are guided, inspired and challenged to dream big and work hard to achieve their ambitions. Our London pre-prep school offers extensive opportunities for growth beyond the classroom, empowering boys to cultivate their unique talents in many exciting disciplines.

Wetherby School boys emerge with a solid foundation that fully prepares them to flourish in all areas, as well as strong core values, a spirit of perseverance, the most in-demand skills and an entrepreneurial mindset.

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.
