The review names Westminster Under as one of Tatler’s Top 200 Independent Schools for 2026 and captures a wide-ranging picture of school life. In the classroom, teaching is recognised as both rigorous and creative, encouraging pupils to think independently and develop their own perspectives. Beyond the classroom, the Guide points to opportunities across art, music, and outdoor learning. Art is taught in studios where pupils work with freedom and imagination. Music is central, with the annual carol service at St Margaret’s Church by Westminster Abbey described as a highlight of the year.

September 2026 is highlighted as a landmark moment, with two significant changes ahead. A new Pre-Prep will open for children aged four and above, extending the school’s provision to younger pupils. At the same time, girls will join Westminster Under for the first time, marking a historic step in the School’s development.

Selection for the Guide is based on information provided to Tatler, which drew on a broad range of detail about school life, academic learning, and co-curricular activity.
