Inspirational, Individual, Holistic
Westonbirt School is an inspired co-educational day and boarding community, set within 210 acres and a breathtaking mansion, 90 minutes from London. Success is celebrated and talent nurtured, with the ethos being greenhouse, not hothouse. Class sizes are small, staff know students well and the strong sense of community ensures pupils feel valued and supported. In 2023 Westonbirt won ‘Co-educational Independent School of the Year’ (Independent School Parent). It offers a broad curriculum with opportunities to tailor options and a strong EAL department. Achievement is good, especially at A Level, where 41% 2023 grades were at A-A* and university destinations included Oxford, Edinburgh, and Nottingham (for medicine). The abundance of space for sports and breadth of co-curricular programme support a holistic approach to education. Sports has great provision; facilities include a swimming pool, astroturf, rugby and cricket pitches, golf course and gym, whilst there is access to equestrian sports including polo. Pupils are regularly selected to play for county and national sports teams. Music, Art and Drama are also key with art studios and many opportunities for performances, including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Other activities include the Combined Cadet Force, beekeeping, Lego league, basketball, politics, chess, coding, photography and astronomy.
