About the School
Westminster School is one of the leading academic schools in the country. Students are encouraged to engage in a constructive, thoughtful process of “loyal dissent” that they embrace and respect the rigorous learning process while they also challenge and explore the content.
There are six boarding houses at Westminster of which one
is a girls-only and five are mixed-sex. Boarders are exposed to more
opportunities of evening programmes including concerts, sports, and supervised
trips to various external academic and cultural events around London.
