From the Wilson's School
Parents frequently tell us that they choose Wilson's because the boys appear to enjoy their time here as well as our stellar academic reputation.
We think that going to school should be enjoyable in and of itself, rather than solely as a means of preparing for adulthood.
There are many good opportunities for learning and enriching experiences outside of the classroom, especially in the areas of sport and music.
In terms of behaviour and personal accomplishment, both academically and otherwise, we have quite high expectations for boys.
All of the main religions and more than forty different languages are represented at the school, and we accept boys from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
We consider this to be a significant strength of the school because of the diversity and richness it brings.
You can rest guaranteed that Wilson's has no guests.
The entrance exams must be passed in order to be considered for admission, and admission is granted purely based on rank order of performance (which take place in the autumn term).
We are excited to have you attend our Open Evening during the summer session.
