Wetherby Prep is the outstanding London prep school of its generation — a school that has risen, in the space of two decades, from a respected West London institution to arguably the most sought-after prep school in the capital. Its two sites, in Notting Hill and Marylebone, educate children from age 4 through to 13, and its senior school placement record is extraordinary: Eton, Winchester, St Paul’s, Westminster, Wycombe Abbey, and Godolphin & Latymer feature routinely in its leavers’ lists.
The school’s academic programme is rigorous from the outset, with specialist teachers for most subjects from Year 3 upward and a scholarship track in Year 7 and 8 that prepares pupils for the most demanding assessments in the country. In 2025, the school secured over 20 scholarships to leading senior schools, including academic, music, and all-rounder awards.
Class sizes are tightly capped, pastoral care is a genuine priority, and the school’s relationship with its parent body is unusually close. The breadth of co-curricular provision — from chess to ceramics, from touch rugby to debating — reflects a school that understands the whole child as clearly as it understands examination performance.
