Celebrating Remarkable Senior School Outcomes at Wetherby Prep

As we bid farewell to our outstanding Year 8 cohort, I am filled with pride for the remarkable young men they have become and the exciting paths ahead. This year, Wetherby Prep boys have once again achieved exceptional senior school outcomes, securing places at some of the UK’s most prestigious day and boarding schools.

Their success reflects not only their hard work and talent, but also the unwavering support of our staff, the strength of our curriculum, and the enduring spirit of Wetherby.

We are thrilled to share that five scholarships have been awarded to our Year 8 boys; what a tremendous academic achievement!

• A Music Exhibition at Eton College
• An Academic Scholarship at Dulwich College
• A Music Exhibition at St Paul’s School
• The John Colet Academic Scholarship at St Paul’s School
• The Foundation Academic Scholarship at St Paul’s School

These accolades reflect the breadth and depth of our boys’ talents, from music to academics, and we are incredibly proud of them.

It is always our priority to help every boy find the school that will continue to stretch and inspire him. This year, we celebrate the diversity of our boys’ destinations and the calibre of the schools they will attend. Of all of our leavers in Year 6,7 and 8, twenty-one boys will board next year, with an impressive spread across Eton College, Harrow, Winchester and more. 

Meanwhile, our London Day school leavers have secured places at top-tier schools known for academic rigour and pastoral care, including St Paul’s, Westminster, and Dulwich College.  We’re also delighted that several boys will continue within the Wetherby family, either at the ever-popular Wetherby Senior, or preparing to join our exciting new Wetherby Pembridge co-ed school, opening in September 2025.

These outcomes speak volumes about the strength of education at Wetherby Prep. Our broad, challenging curriculum supports outstanding academic progress while allowing boys to enjoy the richness of school life through our now-legendary extracurricular activities.

But what truly sets our boys apart is their character. They leave ready for the next stage, carrying our core values of kindness, respect, and perseverance. They are confident public speakers, persuasive debaters, curious mathematicians, and compassionate friends. They’ve competed nationally in Latin and maths, embraced leadership roles, and seized every enrichment opportunity.

As Headmistress, it is a privilege to watch our boys grow, not just academically, but personally, into thoughtful, well-rounded young men. Wetherby Prep continues to thrive as one of Central London’s leading academic prep schools, and this year’s destinations affirm that legacy.  To all our leavers, we are so proud of you. The foundations you built at Wetherby Prep will support you for life. Keep aiming high, stay true to our values, and know you’ll always have a place in the Wetherby family.
