Studying at Westminster

A look at the brief history of Westminster provides an overview of how the School has evolved through the centuries. The School has been responsible for educating some famous pupils who have progressed to become actors, musicians, authors and politicians.

For prospective pupils, a Day in the Life captures snapshots of a busy timetable from three different perspectives to provide an essence of what is it really like as a day pupil or boarder.

Westminster School has a long sporting tradition and its sports teams enjoy considerable success. In 2009 the First XI Cricket won 12 of its 17 matches and retained the LSCA Under 19 Cricketer Cup, defeating Dulwich College by 9 wickets in the final. Meanwhile in rowing the First Quad won the Fawley Cup at Henley Royal Regatta, the first ever win by a British school in the Junior Quads event. The cross-country team won the London Schools Championships for a sixth year in a row - a counter-intuitive achievement for such an urban school.

Sport is taken seriously at Westminster, but its seriousness has at all times to be balanced with academic aspirations as well as Art, Drama and Music.
