Wilson's School

On the 29th September 1615, King James I signed the royal charter which brought Edward Wilson's school in Camberwell into existence. Over four hundred years later and forty years since its relocation to Surrey, Wilson's is one of the country's most successful state-funded selective boys' schools.The School welcomes boys from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds; over forty languages are represented in the school and all the major religions. The diversity and richness that this brings is regarded as a real strength of the school.The expectations of the pupils at the School in terms of achievement and behaviour are very high. This level of expectation in terms of performance feeds through to staff and contractors.
