Discover the next step in your child’s education

If you are thinking of a place at Westonbirt Senior in Year 7 for your child, our Year 5 Taster Day at Westonbirt Prep is designed to make that decision easier, giving pupils a genuine feel for life at our school and showing families exactly how we support every child to thrive.

Moving schools in preparation for starting senior school allows your child to settle into a new environment and routines earlier and the opportunity to make new lasting friendships. They will have access specialist teaching and facilities sooner and gain confidence in a supportive, structured environment, ensuring that natural transition in the coming years is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

We don’t just welcome new pupils, we make sure they belong.
