Westbourne House School is a co-educational day and boarding school for children
aged 2 ½ to 13 years old, situated in 100 acres of parkland near Chichester, West Sussex.
At Westbourne House, we uncover the magic in each child and ensure they make the most of the world of experiences offered to them. In our kind, happy and supportive environment, we cultivate curiosity and reward initiative. Our children leave with the tools they need to make confident and ambitious decisions on the way to their chosen future.
Our nursery is full of imaginative play and love. Its secret garden is a safe outdoor space for children to explore and grow.
Step inside our magic haven for learning and adventure. We mould each child’s educational experience to bring light into their eyes.
We open children’s minds and ensure they make the most of the world of experiences offered to them, all within a kind and happy environment.
Westbourne House School is the winner of a national award – the Alice Rose Award - in the Talk Education Awards for Innovation in Education.
The judges were looking for a school where "children are allowed to be children, one that supports growth and learning but allows them to climb trees and get muddy knees, where confident, nurtured, happy children enjoy their childhood. A true home-from-home."
It is a very special accolade.
Everyone has a chance to perform because discovering passions and finding out what makes you tick is an important part of our ethos.
We aim to create a real sense of home for all our boarders. Living at school gives children the chance to make the most of every day. We have full-time, part-time, weekly and weekend boarding.
Our carefully planned pastoral programme helps children learn important life skills that encourage wellbeing and support the community as a whole.
Westbourne House has been awarded the prestigious High Performance Learning (HPL) World Class School Award, which recognises the very best schools across the globe. For us, HPL is a whole school belief that every child can succeed if given the right opportunities, encouragement, self-motivation and practice.
Our children achieve outstanding results without unnecessary pressure. 19 scholarships and awards were presented to our pupils in 2021.
