Whitgift School

My son attended the Pre-IB summer program and was excited. He experienced a top-level program with likeminded students at a prestigious institution which has shaped his thinking about his future education. Well worth the trip and highly recommended!

My daughter attended their Masterclasses. She had loads of fun learning new things, gain confidence and also made new friends. It was well organised, staff and students were proffesional, approachable and upbeat. Thank you very much.

From my point of view on Whitgift, it did seem to be fairly large and good, with new sports hall and labs and DT/IT stuffs. Teachers are really nice (but a few) and education is at a high standard. There is school tuck shop around the school ground, with direct payment in school canteen.

Absolutely fantastic school. I went there in the 1960's and had a great time. It was a day school then; now about 10% are boarders. My son goes there now and is having a great time. They encourage you to be well-rounded and excel in all areas.

Studied here from year 7-12. Overall a pretty good public school based on the balance between education and sport. The only downside I would say (as with a lot of private schools in the UK) is that there is so much of a focus on making the right grades that it perpetuates the cycle of studying to pass rather than free thought. Will say my education was worth the fees there but wouldn't definitely say I would replicate this step with my children in future
