Welcome to Our Prep School in Chichester

Day and boarding for boys and girls aged 7 - 13 years.

Preparing your child to shape the future

We discover and nurture the character, personality, dreams, potential – in fact, magic - of each child. We ensure they make the most of the world of experiences offered to them and cultivate curiosity and reward initiative. We do this within a kind, caring and happy environment. Our children leave with the reasoning tools and forward drive they need to make confident and ambitious decisions on the way to their chosen future.

Headteacher's Welcome

I am delighted to introduce you and your family to Westbourne House School.

Westbourne House is a very special place for children to grow up and gives each and every pupil an outstanding start to their education. Our teachers are inventive, fun and keen to share their enthusiasm for their subjects and make a determined effort to get to know new children: what makes them tick, their concerns and dreams. We encourage and champion kindness and, regardless of age, new pupils, both day and boarding, quickly feel settled, happy and appreciated for who they are.

At Westbourne House, children enjoy a wonderful sense of freedom in our beautiful 100-acre site and discover a broad and stimulating curriculum, a combination which makes each day exciting.
