Whitgift is one of the UK’s leading independent schools for boys aged 10–18, offering full and weekly boarding from age 13. Located in South London, just 20 minutes from the city centre, Whitgift combines academic excellence with an extraordinary breadth of opportunity outside the classroom. With over 120 clubs, sports, and societies, the school provides unparalleled opportunities for students to explore their passions and develop their talents. The warmth, dynamism, and energy of the school are tangible, in part due to our diverse intake of students. Boys come from a wide range of backgrounds, reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of South London.

Whitgift is a school with a rich tapestry of cultures, which makes it unique. This diversity is complemented by a supportive and nurturing environment, one in which every boy is encouraged to achieve beyond what he thought possible. Founder’s House, the school’s boarding house, is home to a vibrant community of boarders from across the world. Full boarders enjoy structured weekdays and weekends filled with school and House activities, while weekly boarding offers flexibility for families. Our dedicated
boarding team and tutoring system ensures every boy is well known, supported, and celebrated, offering a sense of belonging and lifelong friendships. Whitgift graduates progress to top-ranking universities in the UK and US, including Princeton, Columbia, Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, and Imperial.

Whitgift warmly invites families of boys from military families to apply to join our unique school. 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.
