Part-time boarding

"Boarders are articulate and exuberant in their appreciation of boarding at the school."

ISI REPORT 2016

Part-time boarding is ideal for children who want to stay at school on a regular basis from one to four nights a week. Sometimes this is to enable the child to enjoy the full experience of Westbourne House, sometimes to avoid a daily journey and sometimes simply to fit in with hectic family schedules.

  • Pupils in Years 3 - 6 can choose to dip their toe in the water with just one regular night of boarding, with the opportunity to add any number of extra ‘flexi nights’ on a week by week basis.
  • Year 7 and 8 pupils board for two regular consecutive nights per week, with the opportunity to add any number of extra ‘flexi nights’ on a week by week basis.

Our boarders reap the benefits: confidence, independence and strong friendships.
