Westonbirt School provides an excellent all-round education for girls aged 11-18, in a peaceful, secure and inspiring environment for education - a magnificent former stately home in 250 acres of Cotswold parkland, opposite the famous Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury, Gloucestershire.
Primarily a boarding school, we offer full boarding, weekly boarding and flexi-boarding, to accommodate the exact needs of each girl and her family. We also welcome day girls, for whom we provide a convenient local transport service.
The single-sex environment enables our pupils quickly to become confident, articulate and self-assured, while our house system and our Christian ethos encourage them to become caring, responsible young women.
Within this relaxed but well-disciplined community, pupils make the most of the many opportunities for academic achievement. Girls typically take 9 or 10 GCSEs and 3 A Levels, and virtually all proceed to higher education.
There are also plenty of extra-curricular achievements for which to aim, ranging from Guiding badges and the Duke of Edinburgh Award to the Leith's Certificate in Food and Wine and the driving licence!
Many girls study one or more musical instruments to a high level of proficiency and take part in regular concerts and recitals. Our sports teams are highly accomplished - we have one of the top lacrosse teams in the country - and our speech and drama department regularly wins prestigious awards.
Preparing girls for their future career is of great importance to us. We have recently been accredited as an 'Investor in Careers', demonstrating that our careers advice is of the highest calibre. We are actively involved in the Young Enterprise programme, and this year our Young Enterprise team was voted the best in Gloucestershire.
To maintain Westonbirt School's many special qualities, we purposely restrict the number of places available to under 300. Typically, girls join the school at 11, 13 or 16, but are welcome at any time during their school career, subject to the availability of places. Due to continued growth in demand, early registration is recommended.
Initial enquiries should be directed to Mrs Sue Montgomery, our Registrar, who will be pleased to provide whatever help you require.
