Westbourne House School, Chichester

“Fizzing energy, small family feel and top-drawer academics”

Westbourne House School, for children aged 2 ½ - 13, is set in 100 acres of parkland between the sunny South Downs and the south coast, just outside the beautiful cathedral city of Chichester. We are a day and boarding school.

The Westbourne Way
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.

Celebrating Individuality
Focusing on every child as an individual is at the heart of everything we do. We want each pupil to feel understood, valued and appreciated for who they are.

“Teachers have detailed knowledge of the children, allowing carefully focused support to be provided.” ISI REPORT

A World of Opportunities
Designed to be holistic and stimulating, the curriculum at Westbourne House is exceptionally broad and inclusive. Encouraging our children to have a go and persevere is a key part of our ethos. It gives children the opportunity to learn about themselves, developing self-knowledge, humility and an enviable adventurous attitude that is remarked upon time and time again by the heads of senior schools.

Ready to Shape the Future
Throughout the school’s long history, our focus has gone beyond that of academic achievement – to the growth of the whole child.

Our pupils are systematically taught key life skills, values and attributes and are rewarded for applying them. These skills empower our pupils to be open-minded, work well in teams, think flexibly and develop resilience.

“Westbourne House is brimming with original ideas.” THE WEEK

The Wonderful Pre-Prep and Nursery
The Pre-Prep is full of imagination and laughter. We place emphasis on outdoor learning and our children make the most of all the wonderful gardens and play areas, as well as the Forest School setting and lake.

“A huge shout-out to the splendid Pre-Prep. It offers a gentle transition from Nursery to Reception and is one of the loveliest, most uplifting Pre-Preps we’ve seen.” TALK EDUCATION

Boarding
Westbourne House is known for is its gentle introduction to the boarding experience. Supportive houseparents, family-style houses and a vibrant boarding community provide the perfect environment for children to start their boarding journey.

“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, a small family feel, and yet an immensely large site, fizzing energy and, oh yes, top-drawer academics.” TALK EDUCATION
