The School


Westminster Under School is a great environment for happy and purposeful pupils, and for all the staff who support them.

Our aim is to produce well-rounded individuals with a love of learning and an enthusiasm for life, and who relish coming into School each day.

All members of staff play an important role in ensuring that day-to-day processes at the School run smoothly, and in turn helping each and every pupil to enjoy and benefit from all that the School has to offer.

The Under School is a day school with approximately 292 pupils aged between 7 and 13.

The School was founded in 1943 in the precincts of Westminster School in Little Dean's Yard, just behind Westminster Abbey.

The 17 boys with whom it began rapidly became 60 in number and by 1950 there were 80 boys in the Under School.

The boys had to compete for space with the senior school pupils who had returned from evacuation at the end of the war, but in 1951 the Under School acquired its own premises in Eccleston Square.

Numbers of pupils continued to rise during the 1960s and 1970s and in 1981 the School moved once again to its present site overlooking the Westminster playing fields in Vincent Square.

A stone's throw from the same Square is the striking Art Deco Sports Hall, which is used by both Westminster Under and Westminster Great School pupils.

To this day, the Under School enjoys a strong and important bond with Westminster Great School.

Both schools foster a deep sense of the importance of independent thought and the ethos of a liberal education, giving them a unique shared identity.

It is usual for Under School pupils to be offered a place at the Great School, and the vast majority accept their offers, continuing on until they leave the School in Year 13.
