Lord Wandsworth College in Long Sutton and St Neot’s Preparatory School in Eversley have merged.

The two independent co-educational schools had entered into a formal partnership in April 2021 and have now formed the Lord Wandsworth Family of Schools.

Lord Wandsworth is for pupils and students aged 11 to 18 and St Neot’s has children aged two to 13.

Lord Wandsworth headmaster Adam Williams said: “This partnership has already been in progress for over four years. We are incredibly excited to move forward as the Lord Wandsworth Family of Schools.”

St Neot’s headmaster Jonathan Slot added: “Now we have two schools with a shared ethos, values and ambition. Because of this shared outlook, pupils joining Lord Wandsworth College from St Neot’s will feel very much at home.”
