Wymondham College

Wymondham College, graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, renowned for its exceptional student achievements, is the largest state Boarding school in the UK, with exam results amongst the highest in the country.

Graded Outstanding in all 9 categories across its education and boarding provision, believed to be a first in the country under the new inspection framework.

Ambition is high at the College with a traditional GCSE and A-Level curriculum that extends to encompass subjects including Politics, Computer Science, Photography, Drama and Music. Students typically go on to study at Cambridge, Oxford and Russell group universities as well as prestigious degree level apprenticeships.

Wymondham College’s 83-acre estate is nestled in Norfolk amongst stunning countryside, providing an expansive place for children to live, learn and grow, with direct road and rail links.

Wymondham College’s boarding enhances a child’s education with enriching activities. There are over 70 activities a week, including paddle boarding, kayaking, horse riding, water polo, debating, coding and so much more. The College competes against independent schools in sporting fixtures, including boys’ and girls’ rugby, football, cricket, hockey, netball, athletics, swimming and tennis with many victories and an impressive trophy cabinet. Students also enjoy trips to New York, Disneyland, Iceland, skiing in Austria, safaris in Kenya as well as learning to scuba dive in the onsite pool, going onto achieve their open water qualification in Malta.

Boarding is a home from home, with younger children sharing rooms, to the independence of en-suite single dorms in the Sixth Form. Wymondham College has seven boarding houses, including a Prep boarding house, each with specialist residential staff. There is a bespoke Sixth Form boarding house akin to a small university campus with its own dining room, reading room, computer suite, study and recreation area and a well-being garden. The mix of children and residential staff creates a family environment whereby older children help the younger children with prep. 

The rhythms of a child’s day support a well-rounded healthy lifestyle in an open, safe environment. From prep time to enjoying activities, supper with their house family, to making friends from around the world – there are benefits to boarding that cannot be gained elsewhere, from just £4700 per term.

To experience the wonderfully unique offer available to your child, families are warmly invited to enjoy a personalised visit to the College or attend an open event. To arrange or find out more, please visit www.wymondhamcollege.org
