Westbourne House has been a boarding school for more than 100 years and boarding is at the heart of our whole school community today.
We believe that a child’s experience is significantly enhanced when they board, be it for one night as a part-time boarder or for seven days as a full-time boarder. Children can start boarding in Year 3 and we currently have around 100 boarders.
For us, boarding is centred on the idea of ‘family’. We know that in order for children to be successful, they need to feel happy and relaxed. We create a safe and supportive environment for our children, in order for them to develop into caring, self-reliant, confident individuals. We expect our boarders to support one another, to be kind, considerate and respectful and we work with our children to build a strong community spirit.
