"A great first impression"

My son started at Westminster City School in September and we've been really impressed with the school so far. The teachers are all very friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are excellent. We're also pleased to see that the school has a strong focus on pastoral care, which is really important to us. We're looking forward to seeing how the year unfolds!

"A great education, but some room for improvement"

My son went to Westminster City School from 2018-2022 and we were really pleased with the education he received. The school's academic results are impressive, and the staff are friendly and supportive. However, we did find the sixth form to be a bit disorganised at times, and there were some issues with bullying. Overall, though, we would definitely recommend the school.

"Excellent school with a strong sense of community"

My son has been at Westminster City School for 3 years now and we've seen a huge improvement in his confidence and academic abilities. The school's values of 'Strength in Unity' really shine through in the way the teachers and students work together. The facilities are also top-notch, with a fantastic library and sports centre. We're so grateful to have found this school!
