Easter Study Programmes

The Easter Study Programmes at Westonbirt School are designed to cater for a variety of learners, such as students seeking extra academic support before exams, those who prefer a quiet space for independent study with staff available for revision assistance and wellbeing support, or those who thrive in a focussed study environment alongside friends and peers.

Students will study at Westonbirt School, an inspiring learning environment set in a glorious Victorian country house. Breaks from study can be spent exploring the extensive formal terrace gardens and lake, playing sport on the high-performance Astro or in the Sports Hall, or relaxing in the quiet surroundings of the staterooms.

Open to all students, the Independent Study and Wellbeing Programme gives independent learners the opportunity to revise in a supported and focussed environment and enjoy access to a variety of personal development workshops.

Students in Years 10 and 11 focussing on GCSEs can also sign up for the Tutor-Guided Revision Programme, which is designed for students who would like to consolidate their subject specific learning in small peer groups, led by a tutor.

Day and boarding options are available, including full evening and weekend provision.

Course options

Independent Study and Wellbeing

The Independent Study and Wellbeing Programme is available to all students on the course, and is ideal for those who prefer to revise independently in a focussed and encouraging environment. On this programme, students will have designated study periods each day, during which dedicated staff will be available to provide pastoral care and support with revision strategies. Additionally, students will have the option to take part in inspiring enrichment activities across the beautiful Westonbirt campus, including sports and arts, and personal development workshops.

Not only do these extra-curricular options offer a break from studying but they are specifically designed to support and enrich student wellbeing during the intensive exam preparation period.

Workshops

A key feature of the Independent Study and Wellbeing Programme is the series of personal development workshops available for students to attend every weekday.

The themes of each session will cover topic areas including study strategies, developing professional skills and prioritising personal wellbeing. The workshops are designed to support students while navigating the demanding exam season and also to prepare them for life beyond school, whether that be in further study at university or entering the world of work.

Tutor-Guided Revision

The Tutor-Guided Revision Programme is designed for Year 10 and Year 11 students who would like to consolidate their subject specific learning in small peer groups, led by a tutor. This enables students who may still have areas of difficulty in certain subject areas to have direct tutor input, bridging any gaps in understanding. Mock exams papers are a practical yet important feature of this tutor-led provision, supporting students to better develop their exam techniques.

Classes will have a maximum of 12 students, allowing tutors to give targeted support in small groups and individually. Small class sizes also accommodate for differences in exam boards and give tutors the flexibility to cover overarching themes and topic areas, as well as helping students consolidate learning on areas specific to their own needs.

Combination

Alternatively, students in Years 10 and 11 can do a combination of both programmes, which allows students to access Tutor-Guided support for one academic subject, as well as participating in the Independent Study and Wellbeing Programme (half days of each).

Day and Boarding Options

Day students

All programmes are available as full or half days for day students. All full day and half day places include lunch each day in the Westonbirt Dining Room. Breakfast and dinner are available as optional extras at the time of booking.

Boarding add-on

All students attending the Easter Study programmes have the option of attending as a day student or as a boarder. Boarding is available as a weekdays-only option or full boarding, which includes weekends.

All residential places include accommodation, three meals each day and five days of any of the revision programmes. Students will also have access to Westonbirt School’s sporting facilities, as we encourage everyone to participate in the recreational programme in the evenings. This includes sporting options, yoga and mindfulness sessions. Residential students can choose two subjects of tutor-guided revision, the independent study programme or a combination of the two.

Full boarding includes a weekend programme that involves study time, activities, excursions and free time.
