Apply to Whitesands.
Open for 2026/2027. Applications close 9 May 2026. Limited slots.
Before you apply
Whitesands is the right fit for a particular kind of family.
Parents who believe they are the first educators
We work in partnership with families. Mentoring conversations, regular tutorials, and a shared formation programme keep the school and the home pulling in the same direction.
Families who want Christian values actively pursued at school
Daily prayer, weekly Mass, and a serious formation in virtue are not extras here — they sit at the centre of the school day, woven into how we teach and how the boys are mentored.
Boys ready to launch into the deep
Whitesands is for boys who are willing to be stretched — academically, personally and spiritually — and for families who want them to grow into men of conviction.
How it works
Eight steps from interest to first day.
The process is deliberate. We are looking for boys and families who are a real fit for the school — and we want you to find that out about us too.
