Story

Lord Wandsworth College is set to celebrate our first 100 years! Sternians and LWC parents are getting ready to trek across the Sahara Desert to help raise vital funds for the Lord Wandsworth Foundation.

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)

Please visit our website for more information on the Foundation and watch films made by current pupils.

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.

Please donate today. Join our wonderful group of dedicated supporters and help transform the lives of young people at LWC.

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)

Thank You
