Editorial verdict

Houseroom's view of the school.

overview

Originally an all-boys prep school for ages 7–13, Willington went co-educational and moved to an 11+ exit point. With the addition of a nursery, the school now caters to children from age three upwards and has around 225 pupils. There is described as a real buzz around the school, with a fast-paced and productive atmosphere. Pupils secure an impressive number of scholarships to competitive senior schools such as Whitgift, Latymer Upper and King's College Wimbledon, winning awards for musical and athletic achievement as well as academics.
