What the school inspection says

“The school aims to equip pupils with character attributes, passion, resourcefulness, independence, skills, knowledge and qualifications so they can become the best possible versions of themselves and make a great contribution to a changing world. Pupils are very confident and competent in communicating their ideas… [they] learn a wide range of new skills, both academic and non-academic, from the opportunities provided by the extensive co-curricular programme. Pupils show strong levels of self-confidence… [and] demonstrate calm self-resilience and great confidence inside and outside the classroom. Pupils take part in a wide array of community involvement, often through the houses… [and] see inclusion as an important aspect of their school.” There were non-routine and routine inspections in 2023 and 2024, none of which reached a one-line verdict.

About the school

Beekeeping is the latest activity keeping pupils busy at the college, known as LWC. In autumn 2024 ten hives were installed for 35,000 bees. The college is also resowing wildflower meadows in its 1,200-acre grounds near Hook in Hampshire.
The campus is the third-largest of any school in England, behind Winchester and Eton. It was founded as an agricultural college in 1922 by the Liberal MP Sydney Stern, 1st Baron Wandsworth, and still has a 85-acre working arable farm on site.
In 2025 the coeducational day and boarding school for pupils aged 11-18 was named as one of the top 100 senior schools for cricket by The Cricketer’s Schools Guide for the ninth consecutive year. A girls’ cricket training area is a recent addition.
Alumni include the Dambusters squadron leader George “Johnny” Johnson, who died aged 100 in 2022, and the former England rugby international and sports pundit Ugo Monye.
