From the Westonbirt School
The significance of a comprehensive education continues to be the one constant in this.
These vital qualities can be cultivated and developed in the environment that has been built at Westonbirt Prep.
Children grow up in a society that values education, encourages growth, and gives them the courage to try out novel and interesting things without worrying about failing.
Along with these, there is a strong focus on values like respect, perseverance, friendship, courage, and equality, and staff members are passionate about helping kids grow both as people and as learners.
My personal philosophy is guided by the idea that kids should have as many opportunities as they can to discover their passions, boost their self-confidence, and develop into leaders and learners who excel both in their areas of strength and when forced to step outside of their comfort zones.
Our small, family-run school, which is located in the heart of the Cotswolds on 210 acres of stunning, inspiring parkland, is able to offer the material advantages of a much larger institution, including a cutting-edge sports facility, a 9-hole golf course, and access to the specialised resources and instruction of Westonbirt School, with whom we share our fantastic site.
