"With masses of developments in the pipeline and a genuine buzz about the , it's an exciting time to be a pupil at this school - and it's safe to say that Lord Wandsworth College is firing on all cylinders and on a real upwards trajectory."TALK EDUCATION At LWC we aim to establish a foundation upon which all pupils feel able to build a full and happy life.
We want them to leave school with a better understanding of who they are, their strengths, their moral values and their aspirations. To achieve this we need to equip pupils with emotional intelligence and literacy, a 'Growth Mindset' and a schooling in the characteristics that allow a to be a good decent member of society.
We have grouped these three elements together and called it our character education programme.
Our stunning 1200-acre campus is less than an hour from Heathrow Airport and central London. Hook Station, a ten-minute drive away, has a direct rail connection to London Waterloo. We are 30 minutes away from the historic city of Winchester and just over an hour to Oxford and the New Forest.
We offer our international boarders a home from home, allowing them to immerse themselves into the British culture in a wonderfully friendly and supportive way. All pupils join one of our eight boarding houses and have the of their Houseparent and, of course, their Matron.
