“A second home”

I think that the kind and joyful atmosphere created by both students and teachers is what fills the beautiful welcoming community with a vibrant energy. The resources at Westminster City School are truly a blessing for Sixth Formers; as we have multiple private spaces for independent study and also a library with over 10,000 books including A-Level related books and many laptops for research at our fingertips. This has allowed me to complete homework in my study periods without having to reach for my phone, which can serve as a distraction.
