Winchester College, founded by William of Wykeham in 1382, is one of the world’s most famous and distinguished schools. The College is defined by its motto, Manners Maketh Man. This motto is hundreds of years old but has a surprisingly modern spirit. Its sentiment is that we should be measured not by birth but by our personal qualities, a surprisingly meritocratic sentiment for a school that was founded in 1382. Its language may sound old-fashioned to a modern ear, but it was radically progressive in its time because it was written not in Latin but a dynamic, up-and-coming language: English. Strength of character means having confidence in one’s individuality. At Winche…

Our aims are expressed in three words – Opportunity, Excellence, and Success. We aim to provide rich learning experiences that allow every child to master basic skills, discover and develop talents, deepen interests and succeed in ways they did not imagine possible. For early reading, we follow a synthetic phonics scheme called ‘Read, Write Inc.’ This is taught within a text-rich environment where children are encouraged to read for pleasure. Children in Reception and Year 1 have a daily phonics lesson (of varying lengths), completing all the phases before continuing with English lessons further up the school. Early mathematics is taught through the use of ‘Mathematics Ma…

Take a look around our site to find out more about our teaching and learning in Juniors, Seniors, and Sixth Form, our exam results, the friendly community you would be joining, and the many opportunities for enrichment and fun that you would have. Life in our Junior School has often been full of such excitement since we introduced our creative curriculum.

We tap into children’s natural curiosity and creativity, en…

Wimbledon Chase has been listed 3 times by Ofsted as a particularly successful school. We were one of only 26 schools in the country at the time to have achieved this honor. We were also the first school in the Borough of Merton to become a Beacon School in 1996 and maintained this standard for 5 years. We believe at Wimbledon Chase Primary School that learning occurs best when the children are motivated and interested. Within Nursery and Reception, the adult plays a crucial role in planning and resourcing play activities and also knowing when to intervene to extend children’s spontaneous play. The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is organized into 7 areas of lea…

Willowtown community primary school was established in its current purpose-built building in January 2007 from the original adjacent school buildings which opened in 1908. We now have upwards of 440 learners coming through our gates each day. It took several years for the building to become a reality and our school has been built on a successful past. We have traveled from a tie when knowledge was power to a present and future where children are empowered to think for themselves to become more independent to lead their learning to make an informed choice and above all to become more emotionally intelligent citizens. We all share the same mission and vision. We are the…

William Ellis School was first established in 1862 in Gospel Oak and catered for girls and boys of a wide age range. In 1889 it was reconstituted as a boys' secondary school. The school moved to its present site, backing onto Hampstead Heath, in 1937. Since then classrooms have been adapted and extended, parts of the building have been converted and there has been a great deal of building to provide the specialist classrooms required. The most recent building program gave us a new school hall and fully computerized learning resource center, library, and office. The school has been fully comprehensive since 1984, having admitted its first mixed ability intake in 1978. …
