Welcome to Westonbirt

Westonbirt School is a co-ed independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2 to 18 years, located in the Cotswolds. Here you will find an inspired community, set within 210 acres of parkland grounds and a breathtaking mansion. With an ethos of greenhouse not hothouse, success is celebrated and talent is nurtured.

We warmly welcome families to experience Westonbirt through visiting an open event. An Open Door Morning or Prep Open Morning runs during a school weekday where visitors can gain a true sense of daily life here, whilst a Saturday Open Morning offers a more in-depth experience, with the opportunity to fully tour facilities, visit departments and meet teachers. Find out more about what’s on offer below.

Our next available Open Mornings will take place in the first half term of 2025-26 academic year. Families interested in visiting the school before then are welcome to book an individual tour by contacting our Admissions Team.
