Since 2015, the headmaster has been Adam Williams.[2]
In 2020, the College was named Independent School of the Year for Student Wellbeing,[3] and was awarded the Schools of Character Kitemark by the Association of Character Education.[4]
In April 2021, the College announced that it had entered a formal collaboration with St Neot's Preparatory School, Eversley.[5]
The College takes its name from Sydney Stern, 1st Baron Wandsworth, whose generous bequest established the school. Stern, a Liberal MP, wished to provide an education and supportive boarding environment to children, primarily from farming families, who had lost the support of one or both of their parents.[6]
Eight years after Stern's death in 1912, The Lord Wandsworth Preparatory School (Gosden House, Bramley) opened. In November 1922, the first pupils, known as Foundationers, began attending Lord Wandsworth Agriculture College on the current site in the village of Long Sutton. In 1938, the school's name was changed to Lord Wandsworth College and fee-paying students were welcomed to the College in 1946.[7]
In 1988, the College began welcoming female pupils into the Sixth Form, and in 1997 went fully co-educational.[8]
