Throughout our thriving Prep School, future-focused Senior School and "gold standard" IB and A Level Sixth Form, intellectual discovery runs deeply across all year groups.

With the lowest class sizes in Cardiff & the Vale, capped at an average of only 15 students in the Prep School, we use our smaller size to our advantage. Students benefit from a rich academic environment with more space to explore and ask questions. Complemented by exceptional co-curricular opportunities - global debating, DofE, student leadership positions, team sports, LAMDA and more - they gain the advanced skills and confidence to make their mark on the global stage.

Senior School & Sixth Form study at Westbourne is deeply rooted in 130 years of academic excellence, with 90% of graduates achieving top 20 university places. Ranked #1 in the UK for Innovation, our groundbreaking AI tutor, KnowVa Coach, offers personalised academic coaching tailored to the individual, improving grades and building academic confidence at GCSE and Sixth Form.

Nestled in scenic Penarth, ranked one of the UK's best places to live in 2025 (Sunday Times), Westbourne offers the perfect mix of coast and city. With access to the area's finest sporting facilities, a welcoming environment, and "family feel" community, we provide a campus where your child can thrive. 

We are pleased to offer a daily school bus service across South Wales, including up to Porthcawl and Bridgend, making the school run easier than ever for Westbourne parents. We are happy to accommodate new bus route requests according to demand.

With smaller class sizes, personalised attention, a global network of schools, and some of the best results in the country, there is no doubt that Westbourne provides your child with more.

We're also pleased to offer one of the most competitive family pricing structures in the country, reflective of our commitment to making education excellence more accessible. 

We’re not just preparing your children for their next academic 
step - we’re preparing them with the knowledge, skills and network to grow into leadership roles globally, as the next generation of big thinkers, changemakers and entrepreneurs.

And that's what makes Westbourne stand out.
