Welcome to Wilson’s

Welcome to Wilson's School. I have been part of this truly exceptional community for nearly 20 years, and it has been my privilege to lead the school through such an exciting period of development since 2014.

Parents choose Wilson's not just because of the outstanding academic outcomes of students but also because they understand and share the school's values. These are encapsulated by the motto: Non Sibi Sed Omnibus (Not For Oneself, But For All). We strive to create a safe and kind environment where every pupil can become more confident and reach the highest levels of academic enjoyment and achievement. Pupils flourish at Wilson's.

We are deeply proud of what we offer, particularly the hugely enriching experiences pupils enjoy beyond the classroom. Indeed these rival (and often exceed) those of fee-paying schools. Teachers engage pupils with challenging and enjoyable lessons, enriched with great activities to extend pupils’ interests and skills far beyond the National Curriculum and examination specifications. Teachers know the pupils very well and visitors often comment on the warmth and good-humour that characterise relationships between boys and members of staff.

Our expectations of pupils' personal conduct are very high, but this is matched by a unique pastoral system that teaches pupils our core values of respect, tolerance, courtesy, cooperation, service to the community, personal achievement and hard work.

We welcome boys from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds and we cherish the diversity and richness that this brings.

Places at the school are awarded on the basis of performance in entrance tests (which take place in the autumn term). We understand that the application process might seem daunting, but full details can be found on the Admissions section of the website and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

We hope you enjoy looking at our website - don't miss the latest news, which always provides a great snapshot of what has been happening in recent weeks - and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our Open Evenings, which take place in the summer term.
