Wetherby School will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2011. Founded in 1951, by Mr and Mrs Gerald Russell, the school was originally in Wetherby Place SW7. It remained there for the first twenty years of its life before moving to Pembridge Square in 1971 when it became part of the Family Educational Group Davies, Laing and Dick. In 2002 the family sold to the Alpha Plus Group (www.alphaplusgroup.co.uk) and the school expanded to three form entry to meet the increasing demands on the waiting lists in the area.

In 1984 Miss Frederika Blair-Turner was appointed headmistress upon the retirement of Mr and Mrs Russell and was in post for the next fourteen years. In 1998 Mrs Jenny Aviss succeeded her as head and in 2008 Mr Mark Snell becomes the first headmaster in the history of Wetherby School.

The uniform has always remained the same and the grey and red blazers and caps are recognised worldwide.

The aim at Wetherby is to ensure every boy has a happy and fulfilling experience. We are very particular about the boys’ manners and how they conduct themselves inside, and indeed outside, of the Wetherby red doors. 

Being a Wetherby Ambassador is, we tell them, their most important task; boys are proud to wear the Wetherby uniform and proud to be an ambassador for their school. Trust, respect, honesty, and a hardworking attitude is intrinsic in all that we teach. 

The year is crammed full of internal and external acitivites and learning opportunities and every single boy will find something in which he will excel. Indeed, the Alpha Plus motto “Excellence in Education”, is reflected in everything that you will find inside the famous red doors, and this is not just about excellence in academic standards, (although there are many boys who do attain these). Excellence in Education is about what we, the staff, promote in every area of learning behind our red doors.
