Big ideas, infinite possibilities. Shaping the thinkers and leaders of tomorrow.

“Westbourne is one of the most consistently high-achieving independent schools” Sunday Times Best Schools Guide

Best in class, shaping global futures.

Rooted in their local communities, united through myriad international opportunities, we are guided by a simple yet profound mission: to develop leaders of the future in STEM & Business careers on the global stage.  We achieve this by fundamentally reframing the paradigm of Years 12 and 13.

Our global model captures the innovative pulse of a tech startup, the strategic thinking of a top-tier consultancy and the creative problem-solving found at the heart of an R&D powerhouse. We live and breathe that every single day. 

Our starting premise is that we treat and engage with all our students – from day 1 in Year 11 – as young professionals as if they were at their first day of work … after university. We set the highest of standards, and with the support of our world-class teachers globally, we support and guide our students to achieve the highest of goals.

  • “Before coming to Westbourne, I wasn’t really good at Maths. When you go to university, Maths becomes a universal tool for any science student. When I came here, I got a lot of help honing my Maths skills, starting from zero and going up and up, improving and being able to utilise and implement those concepts into scientific contexts”

It is quite unique, a gem of a school.”
