The data for Lord Wandsworth College above shows that the mean gender pay gap is 11.9%, while the median gender pay gap is 22.3%. The difference in bonus pay shows that female staff last year received larger bonus payments than male staff. The proportion of employees receiving a bonus is broadly similar for women (7.8%) and men (7.4%).
The workforce distribution shows a higher proportion of women in the upper pay quartile (59.7%), while women are also more represented in the lower and lower middle quartiles. This reflects the overall structure of the workforce rather than differences in pay for comparable roles.
There were 247 staff in scope for gender pay reporting as of 5 April 2025.
LWC is committed to being an inclusive organisation where all employees are treated fairly. LWC recognises that addressing pay gaps requires sustained focus over time and cannot be achieved through short-term action alone.
Over the past year, LWC has introduced clearer pay structures for staff and will continue to review pay policies and practices and others, including recruitment, career pathways, and progression, to ensure they support equality of opportunity.
LWC is also focused on development and progression. Access to continuous professional development is open to all. The annual Leadership and Management programme supports staff in developing the skills needed to progress their careers.
LWC will continue to build on this work as part of the wider commitment to inclusion and belonging across the College.
