a school such as Whitgift makes one wish to be a schoolboy forever. What a godsent opportunity these boys have been offeredKing Simeon II of Bulgaria
You have an astonishing school. i have never seen anything like it. Perhaps you know this, perhaps you don’t, but take it from me, you have an amazing schoolSir David Attenborough, OM
When you get there, you’ve landed in narnia: acres of beautiful parkland, where peacocks roam the car park, and wallabies and flamingos live next to the sports centreTatler Schools Guide

introducing…
Mr Christopher Ramsey has been appointed by The Whitgift Foundation’s Court of Governors to succeed Dr Barnett, who is retiring after 26 years as Headmaster of Whitgift.
Educated at Brighton College, Mr Ramsey graduated from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, with an MA in Modern and Medieval Languages, and holds a PGCE from Durham University. His previous headships have been King’s College, Taunton (2002-2007), and The King’s School, Chester (2007-present). His experience of working in independent boys and co-educational boarding schools also extends to Shrewsbury School, The Leys in Cambridge and Wellington College. Mr Ramsey is the HMC spokesman on university matters as well as a Trustee of the University of Chester Academies Trust.
Mr Ramsey takes up his appointment at Whitgift on 1 September 2017.
Whitgift is a day/boarding school in South London, for boys aged 10-18. It is situated in beautiful parkland, once owned by Henry VIII, reflecting more than 400 years of the School’s history and tradition. Day students come from London, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and Kent. A superbly-equipped boarding house offers full, weekly and flexi-boarding, with boarders joining from many parts of Britain and around the world. There is an international dimension to every aspect of the School.
The curriculum is tailor-made, offering a variety of pathways to qualifications including the International Baccalaureate, A Levels and BTEC. Academic standards are exceptional, but this is a school open to all talents. Students follow their own interests, enthusiasms and passions, supported by first-class pastoral care, within a warm and friendly school community, of which they are proud to be members.
Whitgift offers an inspirational environment. There are no limits, or ‘glass ceilings’, in any area of school life. Expectations and aspirations are of the highest order, and our extensive bursary and scholarship provision means that a Whitgift education is accessible to all.
A rich co-curricular programme features more than 80 clubs and societies, to interest, challenge and develop every student. Performing Arts offers exciting opportunities at all levels, across drama, dance, opera, musical theatre, and choral, orchestral and chamber music. There is real brilliance in sport, with more than 40 different sports available, and Whitgift is at the forefront of school achievement nationally.
The following images showcase the essence of Whitgift, the way we nurture a boy’s all-round development, from foundation to excellence. I hope that you will enjoy getting a sense of the atmosphere and ethos that prevails at one of the country’s leading schools.
Full details about Whitgift can be found on the School website, www.whitgift.co.uk. Please feel most warmly welcome to visit the School for an Open Afternoon, or an Open Morning/Evening. I look forward to meeting you.
