Westminster City – the School

The school provides a rich, balanced and rigorous education, aspiring to standards of excellence at all levels, so that all students may achieve their full potential and take a valuable and positive place as adults within society.

This is achieved through a common sense of purpose among all members of our school community – Governors, teaching and support staff, students and parents – working together.

The School and the Individual

At Westminster City opportunities are provided for each student to develop his talents and every attention is given to each boy’s career within, and progress through, the school.

We encourage every student to achieve high standards and to develop an enthusiastic problem solving approach to their work so that they can feel confident with their academic and social skills, inside and outside school.

The School and the Parent

Close co-operation between parents and the school is essential if students are to gain the maximum benefit from school life. We know that your involvement is important and therefore we have developed strong links between home and school. We keep in contact with parents through regular newsletters, which are also available on the school website and we welcome parents to all major functions during the year including parents’ evenings, academic review days, celebration evening, carol service and sports fixtures.

Westminster City School Association: as parents, you have automatic membership to our strong and flourishing Association, which organises a wide range of activities throughout the academic year, many of which are intended to raise money in aid of the school to support the education of all students. The functions run by the Association afford excellent opportunities for the informal meeting of parents, governors, staff, students and Old Westminster Citizens.

Your involvement, however big or small, is integral to the ongoing success of the Association.

The Old Westminster Citizens’ Association: this flourishing former students’ association was founded formally in 1908. The Association was established to provide sporting and social activities for former students at the school and continues to be a focus of interest to ‘old boys’ and staff.

The Old Westminster Citizens’ Association has very close links with the school and through its trust fund provides finance to support music and small projects. It is also a means of maintaining friendships formed at the school and maintaining contact with the school itself.
