Wakefield House
No matter how you feel, get up, show up and never give up.
Wakefield is named after Colonel the Rt Hon Sir Charles Wakefield, Viscount Wakefield of Hythe, founder of Castor Lubricants, a tremendous philanthropist who founded the Wakefield Trust. He was President of the Royal Hospitals of Bethlem and Bridewell, King Edward’s School from 1916-1940. His is one example of the School’s strong links to the City of London Corporation, a link that is important in upholding the vision of our founders, Nicholas Ridley and King Edward VI, to educate young people.
Wakefield House is a boarding and day boys’ House from 3rd Form to Sixth Form, ages 13 to 18. Wakefield House is paired with the Elizabeth girls’ House.
The Wakefield boys are the real stars of the House. Wakefield celebrates all, whether winning at sport, music, drama or academic success. The boys truly enjoy themselves in Wakefield; living by their motto, they work hard, play hard and always give 100%. There is a tremendous pride in being a Wakefield boy which is reflected the day the new boys arrive and are welcomed by all.
