Boarding

More Than Just Boarding: It’s Home, It’s Adventure
At Lord Wandsworth, boarding isn’t just about having a place to sleep; it’s about embracing a life that’s vibrant, supportive, and brimming with opportunity. Whether you choose weekly or full boarding, you’ll become part of a close-knit community where lasting bonds are formed. Imagine evenings gathered around the kitchen table, sharing laughter and stories over mugs of hot chocolate, the comforting chatter of friends in the cosy common rooms, and the thrill of weekend adventures that create memories to last a lifetime. With London just an hour away, exciting day trips to museums, theatres, and iconic landmarks are always within reach.
Belonging & Wellbeing
Our boarding houses are more than just buildings; they’re havens where you’ll find a ‘home away from home’. Each student belongs to one of our eight Houses, providing a strong sense of belonging and a network of support that includes Houseparents, Resident Tutors, and Matrons, all dedicated to your wellbeing. And with easy access to international airports like Heathrow (just 50 minutes away), travelling to and from home is convenient for both domestic and international students. Here, teachers are always there to lend an ear and offer support, and fellow students become family. Whether you’re seeking a quiet corner to delve into a good book or joining in a lively game of table football, there’s a space for everyone to belong.

Embrace the Adventure
But boarding at Lord Wandsworth is about more than just comfort and camaraderie. It’s about igniting a spark of independence, resilience, and self-reliance. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing new challenges, and discovering hidden talents. From conquering the climbing wall to debating current affairs, every experience is designed to help you grow into a confident, well-rounded individual ready to take on the world.
Academic Excellence & Beyond
And when it comes to academics, our exceptional A-Level results speak for themselves. With 78% of grades at A*-B, we’re proud to see our students not only gain places at top universities, including the prestigious UK G5, but also develop the skills and character to thrive beyond the classroom.

🌾 How can you tell that rain is coming?
The pace of harvest picks up in the 1200.
Farmers across the UK are reporting that harvest has got off to its earliest start for nearly 20 years.
At LWC`s Stern Farm, Paul Sigley and his team have been working long days and nights, ahead of tomorrow`s predicted rainfall.
Watched on by the optimistic bird population and Chinooks, returning to RAF Odiham. 🌾

Fancy a dip in the hot weather?
Back in the 1920`s, some of the earliest students at LWC had to work for it.
The Senior Swimming Pool was dug by the fair hands of students and staff during free afternoons, time after tea and detentions.
"To you, present members of the school," reflected The Sternian Magazine years later, "read this story of pioneering achievement carried out by your predecessors. These boys laboured truly and joyfully to help provide the school with a lasting benefit…knowing they wouldn`t be here to enjoy the fruits of their labours."
Their efforts went on to be enjoyed by generations.
Today, things look a little different and the (now indoor) LWC pool is busy training swimming champions.
Thank you boys.

🔟 in 🔟
Ten months, ten moments.
This snapshot of the LWC year highlights just how much we crammed in before breaking for the summer.
From coming together for The Beckwith, to taking time apart to work with our Artist in Residence in the woods.
What a whirlwind.
See you in September for the next installment, LWC.

Friendships for life, not just for picnics. 🧺🥪
House Picnics are our favourite way to end Speech Day on a high.
They provide an opportunity for students to mark the end of the academic year with the parents and House staff who`ve supported them throughout.
And who doesn`t love a picnic?
