Welcome to Westonbirt School

Welcome to visitors joining us from Kenya!
Westonbirt School is an award-winning co-ed independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2 to 18 years, located in the Cotswolds, 90 minutes from London. Here you will find an inspired community, set within 210 acres of parkland grounds and a breathtaking mansion. We provide a holistic education with a greenhouse, not hothouse approach, where individual talent is nurtured and success is celebrated.

 

Looking forward to the Ndume 7s Tournament!
We are delighted to have returned to Kenya once again to our friends at Pembroke House for the NDume 7s Tournament and Schools Fair on June 14th-17th.
