Our pupils develop independence and ‘a pioneering spirit’ and we encourage them to write their own story so they are ready to embrace their futures.

Noah

When Head of School in 2018-2019, Noah was asked his advice for future Wycliffe pupils he didn’t hesitate “take risks and find your ‘pioneering spirit’”. “Wycliffe is a school of opportunities” he says. “It doesn’t matter if your friends don’t want to do the same activity, club or trip as you, in fact it’s sometimes better if they don’t.

Olivia

When Olivia started Senior School she was determined to make the most of every opportunity - in and out of the classroom. That pioneering spirit has resulted in Olivia discussing the subject she hopes to go on to study at University - Geography. “I didn’t like Geography but my teacher in GCSE said ‘stick with it’ and he was right. Now I enjoy it and hope to go on to study Geography at university when I have completed my A Levels. You feel that you can go to your teachers or tutors to talk to them. They always listen to you.”

Isabella

Moving from a school abroad to Wycliffe in Year 7 was a challenge for Isabella. "I was so shy and didn't know anyone". So she decided to push herself out of her comfort zone and joined Drama. It was the turning point for her. "I found a good group of friends and I discovered I quite liked being on stage. It has helped my confidence."

Sohil

For Sohil, life at Wycliffe has given him a home in one place where he can develop strong friendships and be part of a supportive community. Before joining, Sohil had a Taster Day and Overnight Stay to make sure Wycliffe suited him. It did.

Chloe

Chloe is 12 years old and is currently in Year 7 at Wycliffe. She joined in September 2017 from Hong Kong and her favourite lessons are Maths and Science.

William

William is in Reception and has lots of friends who he enjoys learning and playing with.

Mikey

Mikey moved here from London to join Wycliffe at the start of Year 3, and has made lots of friends already. On a Thursday he gets to choose an afternoon activity - this term it is Book Club, whilst his friends do Fencing and Gymnastics.

Independent Schools in the UK

Wycliffe

Wycliffe is a thriving independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged from 3 to 18, set within the heart of the Cotswolds – South West of England.

Children join our Nursery from 3+ years. The Nursery offers independent nursery school facilities with a stimulating and safe environment all set within the beautiful grounds of the Preparatory School. Our stand-alone Preparatory School accommodates children aged from 4+ to 13 years, where they are able to flourish and where they are encouraged to do their best. Our Senior School accommodates young adults up to the age of 18 – with sixth form also available.

Wycliffe is an ideal destination for pupils who want all the advantages of a contemporary environment in a beautiful rural location. Wycliffe successfully blends the best of the traditional and modern. The boarding school has excellent links to London both by road and rail and is close to the amenities offered in the Cotswolds, Cheltenham, Bristol and Bath.

At Wycliffe, we value tradition, embrace modernity and respect individuality. Wycliffe accepts pupils with a wide range of abilities and rejoices in their individual successes. Pupils are valued for who they are; diversity is celebrated.
