Why Westonbirt Prep?

Westonbirt Prep allows younger children to explore a wide curriculum and be exposed to drama and performance, a multitude of sports, a broad and stimulating academic programme tailored to the individuals needs, computing skills & coding, outdoor learning and specialist subject teachers all within small classes of a maximum of 20 pupils.

Learning Support

Westonbirt has dedicated Learning Support and EAL Departments, both of which enhance the learning with individualised learning plans for each student as required. Our success with many of our students supported in these areas is significant with a vast number securing exceptional results. The departments pride themselves on a professional and personal, inclusive approach.

At Westonbirt Prep School we cater for a wide range of Special Educational Needs. If your child requires Learning Support, our specialist and highly qualified team will guide you through the process of accessing additional support which could include strategies such as: one-to-one specialist teaching; group sessions; in-class support; individualised learning plans; or links with external support agencies.

This intervention will be arranged according to your child's specific needs and in accordance with any specialist reports that they already have upon joining, informal assessment by our teachers and/or learning support staff and recommended specialist assessments carried out during their time with us, a range of which can be done here at school or supported in their organisation. The provision is evaluated regularly in communication with parents, teachers, pupils and any external agencies to ensure its ongoing effectiveness in providing each child with the best educational provision.

Current parents share their thoughts on Westonbirt Prep

My daughter is very happy at Westonbirt and always talks excitedly about her school day which is varied and interesting. There is ample opportunity for sport, which includes inter-school matches as well as outdoor learning, swimming, drama and a full academic curriculum often with senior specialist teachers. It is a very happy community.

Year 3 Parent

Westonbirt is a great Prep School. Our two children have thrived at the School, which as well as being able to offer the small family feel that we were looking for, also benefits from access to the specialist facilities and teaching offered by the Senior School. We moved to the school for the small class sizes, but have found that it offers so much more.

We absolutely love this School! Great in so many ways. After moving to Bristol we still use the holiday club for our four year old daughter and she is asking to come back! Excellent provision and understanding of young minds. Thank you!

Dear Mrs C,

I feel I didn't get the chance to say a proper thank you on Friday. We wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for our daughter. Moving her to Westonbirt Prep was one of the best decisions we have made. It has given her confidence, belief in herself and a huge amount of happiness and lifelong friends - we are so proud of what she has achieved and the young lady she has become. It is an exceptional school and we shall miss it as a family dreadfully. We'd like to wish you and your family a fantastic summer holiday and wish you all the best for the future - you are doing an amazing job.
