Westonbirt recognised in Tatler’s Good Schools Guide 2025 

12th September 2025

We are delighted that Westonbirt has once again been recognised in the Tatler Schools Guide 2025 for South West and Wales. 

The review captures the spirit of our school community, describing Westonbirt as “an incredibly inspiring place to be”, with pupils and parents alike praising the support and encouragement they receive.  

The review also celebrates the exciting developments at Westonbirt, including a new prep school building opening in January 2026, the refurbishment of the junior boarding house, and upgrades to boarding accommodation across the school. Alongside these improvements, pupils benefit from a rich academic and co-curricular offer, from the new Level 3 Agriculture course to performance pathways designed to nurture talent in sport, art, music, and drama. 

Tatler also praised Westonbirt’s stunning location, set within 210 acres of historic parkland, and the outstanding opportunities beyond the classroom. Pupils enjoy bee-keeping clubs, a 9-hole golf course, and numerous pitches and courts. Performance life is equally vibrant, with highlights including the annual Speech and Drama Gala. 

As the review concludes, “Westonbirt’s motto, overcome evil with good, strikes a chord with pupils”, who thrive on the sense of community, support and opportunity available to them every day.
