Wycliffe College

Wycliffe College has a long-established reputation for academic rigour, breadth of opportunity and strong pastoral care. We balance respect for tradition with a forward looking education, preparing pupils not only for academic success but for leadership, service and responsibility beyond school. Above all, Wycliffe is founded on kindness, humility and excellence without exclusion. We want our pupils to be curious, empathetic, thoughtful, adventurous and ambitious. Our size allows us to know pupils exceptionally well, while our resources and staff enable an education that is both demanding and supportive. 

Proudly non-selective but aspirational for all, there are few schools of our size and scale that can boast world-class facilities together with a wonderfully diverse community, broad curriculum and superb co-curriculum. Our pupil body, which is a balanced mix of local day pupils, boarders from across the UK and over 30 countries, is encouraged at every turn to look outwards and to critically assess its role and place in the world. That world we are helping to prepare our children to enter is becoming ever-more challenging, complex and dynamic and we are an educational community which is continually adapting to this shifting context. We are not tied down by tradition but instead draw on our history to retain a resolutely grounded approach to life and learning, so that we can equip our young people with the right academic qualifications to succeed and the quiet confidence and spirit needed to thrive.
