Lord Wandsworth College guides families towards its main entry points at Year 7, Year 9 and sixth form, combining open events and campus visits with a more formal admissions sequence of assessment and interview. The process is selective, but published policy material also makes clear that the school wants applications from a wide range of backgrounds.

Lord Wandsworth offers scholarships and a generous means-tested bursary programme, with policy material making clear that fee support is meant to widen access for pupils who meet the admissions criteria. Awards therefore are central to the college's identity rather than merely decorative.

• The College publishes a general bursary route rather than a narrow entry-point list in the main FAQ snippet.
• The bursary is a remission on fees only; the public FAQ does not state a universal remission cap.
• Families apply through the College’s online bursary portal, provide financial information and supporting documents, and can expect annual review of any award.

The current inspection information includes ISI material from 2024 and subsequent 2025 updates connected to the college's ongoing development. The school uses this alongside broader messaging about wellbeing and opportunity, so the inspection story sits inside a wider narrative of both ambition and care.
