Welcome to Wymondham College; a wonderful place to live and learn! Graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, we are the largest co-educational state boarding and day school in the UK, welcoming students from ages 11 to 18. We share our beautiful 83-acre site in rural Norfolk with Wymondham College Prep school, which also has boarding provision for children from age 9.
Our students and staff are the life and soul of our community, together we strive for the very best. Our academic outcomes are amongst the very highest nationally and are complemented by a wide-ranging enrichment programme - ‘Wymondham Life’. With over 70 activities a week on offer, we develop our young people with skills and experiences that deepen their learning and build their confidence to take opportunities and to flourish.
Our boarding element adds a richness to our College culture, with day and boarding students belonging to one of our six ‘houses’, each with its own character. The House structure brings about great camaraderie, as well as a friendly competitiveness at our annual College events such as the Mair Cup music competition, inter house sports, debating and academic challenges, to name but a few. The friendships formed in this environment last a lifetime, with many of our alumni returning to share fond memories of their house fellowship.
Our world class College is rooted in a unique heritage. Originally, a Second World War American military hospital, we cherish the remaining Nissen hut which is positioned in the heart of our grounds. Sir Lincoln Ralph founded the College in 1951 and our College song, ‘Floreat Sapientia’ was first heard in 1955; it is still sung with warmth and gusto at our annual Founders Day service, just one of many traditions we hold dear.
From my first trip to Wymondham College, I was captivated by it; I invite you to come and take a tour of our glorious site to see for yourselves what makes it such a magical place in which to study. To find out more, please get in touch to arrange a visit. Conveniently located on the outskirts of Norwich, we benefit from air, rail and road access to many major cities.
