We feel very comfortable day-to-day with the operations of the school and the care given to our child. Wycliffe is a special place, which you can 'feel' as you walk around. All of the children seem so happy and content. Great school which are are lucky to have on our doorstep.
Our two daughters have both thrived at Wycliffe College. They are international boarders and their move was the first time away from family, but the pastoral care was really strong and they were looked after extremely well - they settled in quickly and the transition was supported by school staff very well. Academically they have been supported very strongly too and made great progress - the teachers see them as individuals and teach them as such. However the school has also improved their confidence dramatically and the focus on a 'rounded', whole-child education has also been really impressive. The extra-curricular activities are really good, boarding houses are welcoming and well-run, and the school has had a strong, positive impact on both girls. We've been impressed throughout, with the school, the school management, the teaching and the whole environment.
We have been part of the Wycliffe family for 6 years and have nothing but praise for both the Prep and Senior school. Even through the challenges of 2020, the leadership and communication from Nick Gregory and his team have been excellent. What the brochure and website can’t tell you is how the school feels and for us it’s a perfect fit. After a short visit you can immediately see how the school’s philosophy helps the pupils become confident but unique young adults. We feel very grateful that our girls have had the opportunity to benefit from everything Wycliffe has to offer.
Wycliffe College was carefully chosen by us as it offered good learning support for our son, with the transition from prep to senior school being well handled. Wycliffe reacted quickly to the need for online schooling during lockdown but despite this being of generally good quality, our son found it hard to engage. Back in school, the support received from the team helping him has been excellent, with good tutors following up and providing a framework within which he now works. Good sporting opportunities, with the best being made of an unfortunate pandemic situation and students being disappointed not to have external matches; we are all looking forward to getting back to regular matches and standing on the touchlines and at the squash courts supporting them all.
We send both of our children to Wycliffe College. Our daughter is currently in the Upper Sixth and our son is in Year 10. We sought out the school because we wanted somewhere that would suit both our children – one is very academic, the other is much less so. Sending our children to this school was probably the best decision we have made as parents. Both are thriving in their own particular way. The small class sizes help them hugely, and the pastoral support they receive is exceptional. Communication between the school and parents is excellent. There is a very strong sense from all the staff there, teachers and others, that our children matter a great deal to them – their academic performance, their physical and mental well being, their growth and development into well rounded adults. Our daughter is passionate about art and history and has been nurtured and challenged by a fabulous and inspiring team of teachers, who push her to achieve all she is capable of. My son loves all the sport on offer and the opportunities presented to him. He receives so much encouragement by all his teachers who have focused on bringing all his strengths to the fore. In short we really don’t feel we could have found a better school than Wycliffe to nurture and teach our children through these critical years of their lives.
