A tradition of excellence awaits at WETHERBY PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Wetherby Preparatory School is an independent boys’ school in central London that combines strong academic standards with a broad, engaging education from Reception to Year 8. Our long history of academic excellence dates back to 1951 with the establishment of our pre-prep. In 2004, we expanded our offering with the opening of Wetherby Prep, welcoming 24 boys in Year 4. Today, the school is home to more than 350 pupils. At Wetherby Prep, our approach to education is rooted in a meticulously planned and ambitious curriculum. We balance academic rigour with holistic development, supported by outstanding teaching and tailored preparation for each pupil’s next stage. While our standards are high, our staff are deeply supportive, encouraging every boy to challenge himself and strive for excellence each day.

The sports programme includes team sports such as cricket, football, rugby, tennis and water polo, and pupils also take part in twice-yearly sports tours to exciting destinations, such as Holland and South Africa.
Beyond team sports, our clubs programme also offers a wide range of activities, including fencing, horse riding, rock climbing, chess, choir, rock band, photography, drama, and coding. Life at Wetherby Prep School is further enriched through regular visits to science and art museums, as well as academic and sporting trips across Europe.

Inspired sets the standard for independent schools globally, leading to outstanding success across academics, sports and performing and creative arts.
