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.
Westbourne House is brimming with original ideas.
The Week
Westbourne House has given us everything we hoped for the kids. Freedom with structure, space with intimacy, confidence with curiosity.
Chloe, Westbourne House parent
An idyll of all that is enchanting in childhood –Westbourne House has managed to bottle that elusive formula of what makes a prep school perfect: not too big (360 pupils), a small family feel, and yet an immensely large site, fizzing energy and, oh yes, top-drawer academics.
Talk Education
Exceptional creative talents are evident in many areas…especially in art, music and drama.

A very happy place - so bright and colourful - full of enthusiastic kids with relaxed and smiley faces, always super keen to see what the new school day will bring.

Smart, low rise and cosy, with a trampoline in one of the gardens, [the boarding houses] really felt like a home-from-home.

Our approach enables children to be happy and thrive.
Celebrating Individuality
We encourage each child to be the best he or she can be both academically and socially. By celebrating each child's personal best - whether this be mathematical reasoning, kindness and humility, sense of humour, musical talent or determination - we appreciate their unique contribution and encourage them to aim high.
World of Experiences
We take our children on unforgettable journey of discovery including ceramics, science experiments, field trips, textiles, drama, cooking, poetry, music, kayaking, squash amongst many others. Each experience empowers our children to take on new challenges with enthusiasm and joy.
Ready to Shape the World
Throughout our history, the school’s focus has gone beyond that of academic achievement – to the growth of the whole child. We hire talented teachers to inspire young minds, develop social skills, encourage resilience, teach leadership skills and encourage positive mental health and wellbeing.
Teachers have detailed knowledge of the children, allowing carefully focused support to be provided.
