Inspired Education has opened Wetherby Pembridge, an independent, co-educational senior school in Kensington Olympia, West London.

The school opened with three classes of Year 7, one class of Year 8 and two classes of Year 9 pupils. Of the founding cohort, 25% are in receipt of means-tested financial assistance.

Facilities include creative art and performance spaces and almost 15 acres of outdoor sports grounds.

Nadim Nsouli, founder, chairman and chief executive of Inspired Education, said: “As an Inspired school, Wetherby Pembridge is built on the renowned academic foundations of the Wetherby and Pembridge Hall schools. Wetherby Pembridge is the latest demonstration of our commitment to providing the very best holistic education, prioritising academics first and foremost, but with unparalleled access to co-curricular facilities and higher education pathways.”

Wetherby Pembridge’s headmaster Nick Page commented: “From our future-ready classrooms and labs, to our professional standard theatre and world-class sporting facilities, we have created an environment of academic excellence where we can identify and nurture students’ full potential and enable them to flourish and succeed in whichever field they choose.”
