Your Place to Grow

From the moment your child joins Westbourne, regardless of the entry point, they become an important part of our vibrant school community.

An extremely welcoming family school, our smaller class sizes, low staff to pupil ratio and commitment to pastoral care, ensures each and every child has the individual support and best possible care throughout the junior years and throughout their onward academic journey.

"I always thought this school would be good, I hoped that this school would be great, but I didn't expect this school to be incredible." Westbourne Prep Parent
"Far beyond just small class sizes, the supportive, nurturing environment is committed to understanding and embracing the character and strengths of each and every child, developing independent self-starters with entrepreneurial drive, academic breadth and the self-confidence to succeed." Joanne Chinnock, Head of Prep
