Story

Over 100 years ago, our founder, Lord Wandsworth, recognised a need to provide a vibrant, supportive boarding school environment for children from difficult backgrounds to enable them to thrive. Today, LWC keeps this vision at the heart of what we do.

The Foundation gave me the education, opportunities and start in life I could never have hoped for. I feel truly fortunate. Thank you. IMRAN SROYA (Sutton, 1985-1992)

Every year, the Foundation supports around 50 children who face tough challenges at home, which are detrimental to the child's normal educational and social development.

All of our Foundationers have lost the support of one or both parents through death, divorce or separation. Some are living in kinship care or in overcrowded conditions - Others are caring for an ill or disabled parent or sibling - Some are victims or witnesses of domestic violence - Others are living in chaotic circumstances with a grieving or mentally ill parent struggling with daily routines.

Some of our pupils have made a film to let you know how important the Lord Wandsworth Foundation is to them. The video was scripted, filmed and produced by our brilliant pupil team and focuses on five of our current Foundationers who kindly agreed to share their stories. You can view their film here: Foundation Film

If you agree supporting and enriching the lives of children during such a formative and vulnerable period in their life is a good thing, then please do lend your support now.

I would not be where I am today without my LWC education, thanks to The Foundation. It was here where I began my journey to play rugby for England. I loved my time at the College and I am fortunate and proud to have been a Foundationer. UGO MONYE (Sutton 1995-2001
