The review in Tatler’s Schools Guide 2026 celebrates Westminster pupils’ continued success at A Level “… year on year, students amass a constellation of top results”. It also draws attention to our educational partnership with Harris Westminster and our expanding academic enrichment programme Platform, and concludes with a reference to “one of the most seismic changes in Westminster’s centuries-old story”, the School’s move to become full co-educational.

Selection was based on information provided to Tatler — including glowing parent reviews — which gave a vivid picture of life at Westminster, both inside and beyond the classroom.

Here are just a few of the parent responses that were submitted:

“The blend of high academic approach and freedom to decide what you want to develop and who you want to be is non-comparable to other schools.”

“This is not a school for just ‘genius’, who are only interested in academic performance. This is a school where engaging, ambitious and interested young girls and boys can thrive.”

“This remains the best private school in London (and probably the country) by a clear mile. The only private school to which I would send my children for sixth form.”

“Westminster is a school that nourishes young people who are curious about complexity. A young person who thrives there will be academically excellent, but also one who is quirky and passionate about their diverse array of interests.”

The Head Master, Dr Gary Savage shared his thoughts:

“It’s always gratifying when the achievements of our pupils, supported by our staff, are recognised and celebrated in this way. The comments from our parents are especially good to read, and I’m sure the entire very fulsome review from Tatler will bring pride and good cheer to the whole school community.”
