About the School
There are approximately 360 boys and girls aged 213. Most children go on to major public schools across the South.
The school enjoys outstanding facilities. Teaching is extremely well resourced, with excellent teaching rooms, the majority equipped with interactive whiteboards; There are rooms for Art, Ceramics, ICT, Design Technology and Food Technology, a separate Science block and Music School, as well as a modern, 300-seat theatre/assembly hall. The school also has a large (30-acre) lake on the north boundary for kayaking.
Academic standards are high, with consistently outstanding Common Entrance results together with an excellent scholarship record; last year, no fewer than 36 awards and scholarships to senior schools were won across a range of disciplines, totalling 140 over the last five years.
Westbourne House uses the High Performance Learning philosophy to guide all pupils in becoming good learners. The school believes that all pupils have the potential to perform at the highest level regardless of their current performance level. The Advanced Cognitive Performance Characteristics (ACPs) and Values, Attitudes and Attributes (VAAs) of HPL are the thinking and behaviour characteristic, and these are delivered specifically and systematically throughout the curriculum.
The Music and Drama departments also excel consistently: all children are involved in school productions; a large number are members of school choirs, and there are regular concerts.
Saturday school consists of sports matches, as well as optional enrichment activities, such as kayaking and coding.
There is a wide variety of sport on offer, and a large number of teams represent the school most Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. As well as extensive playing fields, there is a 25-metre swimming pool, dance studio, sports hall, squash courts and a full-sized astro-turf pitch.
There are around 100 boarders, many of whom board for two or three nights in one of seven houses on the school grounds. The school offers full-time boarding, allowing the children to further enjoy the beautiful facilities and grounds the school has to offer.
