We have taken the decision to step away from X. You can still keep up with all the latest Whitgift news and updates on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

#MerryChristmas and a #HappyNewYear from the entire #WhitgiftCommunity! As we approach the end of 2025, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our community, students, parents, staff and alumni for your continued support and involvement.⭐

We are delighted to announce that tonight marks the opening performance of Jekyll & Hyde The Musical. Our talented Drama and Music students will be performing this evening, as well as on Thursday and Friday.🎶 Don't miss this remarkable production! 🔗ticketsource.co.uk/whitgiftschool

This @WhitgiftSchool1 was absolutely fantastic. If you have tickets you are in for a HUGE treat.

Utterly compelling evening. Superb

Day 2 of 24 reasons to be grateful @WhitgiftSchool1 - the fabulous facilities and AV teams who work so hard to put on all the varied experiences for the boys. One example - Jekyll and Hyde later this week!

Day 1 (a day late) of 24 reasons to be grateful @WhitgiftSchool1 - Art! Fantastic examples of the creativity of our boys.

Great to spend time in lessons these past two weeks - English, maths, languages, DTE, economics, politics, philosophy, science, history and art - as evidenced here! Thanks to all - pupils and colleagues alike @WhitgiftSchool1

Great experience for our Foil and Sabre Fencers today in the Leon Paul U14 Open at the LP Centre West Hendon. Congratulations to Alfie who won bronze in the Sabre, also to Sai who was just outside the medals losing 12-10 in the L8 of the same event.

Wishing the very best of luck to all sitting Whitgift’s 13+, 14+, and 16+ entrance exams today!🍀 #WhitgiftSchool #EntranceExams #FutureWhitgiftians

Huge thanks to our partners at Urawa High School in Japan for hosting and welcoming our boys over half term - and for this beautiful gift and note. Looking forward to their visit next @WhitgiftSchool1
