Westbourne House School is an excellent educational establishment which combines solid academic teaching with plenty of sport and many other activities to create great all-rounder pupils, who know how to apply themselves and how to support others.
Registrar, Canford School
Pupils apply for senior school in Year 6 and sit pre-tests in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. With senior schools moving away from Common Entrance, the curriculum at Westbourne House has evolved: we maintain a strong core in Maths, English and Science, which are still assessed using the Common Entrance exams, and more flexibility and depth has been introduced into the schemes of work for other subjects, including History, Geography, French and Spanish.
We are devoted to working with each child to encourage them to develop the attributes, values and skills that will enable them to be their best.

There is the opportunity for every child to excel at Westbourne House."
