PROSPECTUS 2023  \n3  \nWelcome  \nWestminster’s co-educational Sixth Form offers a safe, stimulating and supportive environment for learning, set within a progressive school on an ancient site in the heart of the world’s most vibrant city.  \nOnce you have read this prospectus and explored the website, I warmly encourage you tojoin us at an Open Day before the formal process of interviewsand assessments gets under way. It is always best to gain a first-hand glimpse of what lies ahead, to put some faces to names and experience the buzz and energy of this remarkable school for yourselves. I look forward to meeting you in person, showing you the School and introducing you to the heads of the academic departments, who will be able to answer any specific questions you may have.  \nI know that applying to a new school can sometimes seem daunting for pupils (and, often, their parents), but I hope that, in applying for Westminster, feelings of excitement will rapidly eclipse any natural anxiety. Our hope is that by providing as much information about the School as possible at this stage, and seeking as much information as possible about you, the decisions that we eventually make will be the right ones. One thing I can say with certainty: the new pupils who join us in the Sixth Form each year settle in quickly and happily and make a terrific success of their time here.  \nA recent ISI inspection report  \ndescribes Westminster as nurturing  \n“…a pupil body liberated from dogma, prejudice or unthinking conformity...”  \nIf this strikes a chord with you, then we are the right school to choose foryour Sixth Form studies. Good luck with all that lies ahead.  \nDr Gary Savage Head Master  \nA BRIEF HISTORY  \nWestminster is a long-established school on an ancient site. Its origins can be traced back to 1179, when the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey were asked by Pope Alexander III to provide a small charity school. The School’s continuous existence is certain from the early 14th century. Following the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540, Henry VIII personally ensured the School’s survival by statute and Elizabeth I confirmed royal patronage in 1560.  \nHead Master’s welcome 3  \nA Westminster education 4  \nOur unique location 5  \nBoarding and day 6  \nOur co-educational community 7  \nA day at Westminster 8  \nA place of wellbeing 10  \nAcademic life 11  \nThe Sixth Form curriculum 12  \nBefore you decide 13  \nBeyond the subject choices 16  \nThe broader curriculum 18  \nAdventures and Expeditions 19  \nMusic 20  \nThe Art School 21  \nDrama 22  \nSport for life – and to win 23  \nWestminster and the community 24  \nAfter Westminster 25  \nThe admissions procedure 26  \nScholarships and Bursaries 28  \nFrequently asked questions 29  \nInformation for  \noverseas candidates 30  \nChoosing your  \nSixth Form subjects 31  \nCourse information section  \nArt 35  \nClassics: Latin and Greek 36  \nDrama and Theatre Studies 38  \nEconomics 39  \nElectronics 40  \nEnglish Literature 41  \nGeography 42  \nHistory 43  \nHistory of Art 44  \nMathematics 46  \nModern Languages 47  \nFrench 47  \nChinese (Mandarin) 48  \nGerman 48  \nRussian 49  \nSpanish 50  \nMusic 51  \nSciences 52  \nBiology 52  \nChemistry 53  \nPhysics 54  \nTheology and Philosophy 55  \nHow to find your way around 56  \nTimeline 58  \nThe School’s reputation as one of the foremost centres of academic excellence in the world is built upon our pupils’genuine enjoyment of open-minded enquiry, rigorous discussion and the search for explanation well beyond any examination syllabus.
