Westonbirt enjoys a rich boarding heritage and vibrant boarding community that benefits day students and boarders alike. Full, flexi and weekly boarding is available. Following the successful transition to coeducation, Westonbirt has officially launched boys boarding at Westonbirt from September 2021.
Boarders can maximise the opportunities of early morning and after school co-curricular activities and enjoy a full programme of trips and activities should they choose to stay at weekends.
“It is the sense of community and the beauty of the house we occupy that makes boarding at Westonbirt such a magical experience. Routines are established in the boarding environment that enable teenagers to form successful habits and learn to manage their time, and ultimately their studies, more effectively.”
Following our successful transition to coeducation and with 40% of Key Stage 3 now made up of boys, we are extremely excited to have launched boys boarding from September 2021.
Boys board in Badminton House in contemporarily decorated dorms, enjoying magnificent views across the back lawns and with a cosy common room for relaxation once studies are complete. Housemasters for the boys include Head of Mathematics, Mr Chatterjee, Deputy Head Academic, Mr Balderson and PE teacher, Mr Kite.
Flexi, weekly and full boarding is available within the Boys Boarding House. Please contact Admissions to book a personal tour.

With many years of experience in pastoral care at Westonbirt School, Sally Gould creates a ‘home from home’ environment running Dorchester and Beaufort Houses with her spaniel, Strumble. Sally is ably assisted in the girls’ boarding houses by Miss Morris and our school chaplain, Reverend Alice.
Dorms are bright and cosy and students can decorate their spaces with pictures and personal effects. Each house benefits from a common room where students can enjoy movie nights and social time once prep is complete.
Flexi, weekly and full boarding is available within Girls Boarding. Please contact Admissions to book a personal tour.
