Meet the HeadA very warm welcome to Westonbirt!Â
We are so much more than a school. We are driven by an unshakeable commitment to enabling young people to flourish and thrive in all aspects of their lives. We believe in nurturing individuals who grow up knowing their own worth and the positive impact that they can make. We are guided by a deep belief in the endless potential of every child, which underpins our pursuit of excellence and the high expectations that we have of them.Â
We model for our pupils a collective lifelong commitment to learning. We are ambitious for and on behalf of them. Intellectual curiosity and an appreciation of the beauty and fragility of this world underpin the approach we take to ensure that the experience of learning is relevant and inspiring. Set within an extraordinary natural environment, Westonbirt offers space to think and to create. This freedom allows pupils to challenge themselves without fear, understanding that growth comes not from the pursuit of perfection, but from effort, reflection and resilience. Individuality is celebrated and pupils develop confidence that is grounded and authentic.Â
Life at Westonbirt extends far beyond the classroom. Whether through sport, music, drama or creative pursuits, whether leading or learning a new skill, pupils are encouraged to push beyond known horizons and challenge their pre-conceived limitations. They are supported by exceptional staff who are invested in ensuring every child is known, valued and guided to become the very best version of themselves and to experience success.Â
We believe that young people develop most fully when they feel cared for, safe and understood. A cornerstone of our pastoral provision is boarding, which sits at the very heart of school life and provides the opportunity to live, learn and grow up in an environment that is dynamic, nurturing and inclusive.Â
Westonbirt is a community bound by shared values and a fierce sense of loyalty. We aim to develop young people who are compassionate and courageous, ready not only for university or the next stage of their education, but for exciting, fulfilling and productive lives well beyond their school years. While we are proud of the outcomes our pupils achieve, we measure our success by the stories they create and the good they go on to do in the world.Â
If our vision and commitment to young people inspires and excites you then please do come and visit us. A warm welcome in the most beautiful setting awaits you!Â
