Wymondham College
Wymondham College is the largest State Boarding School in the country,
educating around 650 boarders and a similar number of day students. Set
amongst 84 acres of rural Norfolk countryside and with around 400 full and part
time staff, many of whom live on site, Wymondham College is a busy, dynamic
and fascinating place to be.
The College secured ‘outstanding’ judgements from Ofsted in both the last
education and boarding inspections and strong academic success coupled with
an almost unrivalled choice of extra-curricular opportunities makes
Wymondham College a very popular choice. Beyond the academic school day
over 60 regular weekly clubs and societies are available together with over 700
annual sporting fixtures, an active Cadets unit and the Duke of Edinburgh
Award Scheme.
The numbers of parents now choosing state boarding over private education is
on the rise with a growing trend of students joining from prep schools. High
quality education with first class facilities is free for day students and with
boarding fees at just over £9,000 pa, Wymondham College offers a very
attractive alternative to private schooling. Academically, College students have
just achieved the highest A Level results in recent memory with 83% gaining AC
Grades and 13 receiving Oxbridge offers this summer. GCSE results continue
to be strong with over 72% meeting or exceeding the Gold standard (A*-C
including English and maths). Additionally, our latest parental survey was
extremely positive with over 95% of parents saying they would recommend the
College to other parents.
The wide range of activities beyond the classroom and the opportunity to build
relationships and friendships through boarding is an attractive proposition. Even
more attractive is that all of this is available at a fraction of the cost of boarding
at independent schools.
