Transforming boys' lives through education.
Whitgift warmly invites families of boys from military families to apply to join our unique school. Whitgift has outstanding academic credentials with 92.9% of boys achieving A*-B in A-Levels in 2024. Whitgift adopts a modern approach to boarding, while upholding the traditional values that have made the School a destination for families from across the world. Founder’s House was built in 2013 and is situated just 25 mins to Central London and 15 mins to Gatwick Airport, allowing boarders to embrace the multitude of opportunities that are available in close proximity to the School.
Students fully immerse themselves in the Whitgift experience, contributing hugely to the School community. Within a nurturing family environment, younger students benefit from the guidance of their older peers, while older students embrace the opportunity to serve as role models. Boys who have attended Whitgift School as boarders have fostered a deep sense of attachment to their experiences with us. We encourage students to aspire to be the very best version of themselves in character and achievement. Supported by a specialist team of boarding staff, we have all the resources with which to reach their goals.
We are incredibly proud of the young men who leave us and what they achieve. We are particularly proud they come from such a diverse range of backgrounds, thanks in part to the generous bursary and scholarship schemes we are able to offer.
