When I am asked what makes our school stand out, the answer is undoubtedly our unique combination of academic excellence and British independent school tradition alongside innovative global learning opportunities, inspiring curious learners aged 4-18.

Global collaboration

We are committed to nurturing future leaders by bringing the very best global learning opportunities to the heart of Penarth. Students benefit from unprecedented opportunities to develop leadership skills through global collaboration with their peers at our sister schools in Sydney, Singapore, Mumbai and beyond.

Collaborating via real-time virtual workshops and international exchanges, they gain new academic and cultural experiences that are integral to their growth.

Our groundbreaking mini MBA, ‘Future Leaders Lab’ running in Penarth and Singapore, brings together entrepreneurial young minds from across the world. Expertly mentored by INSEAD professors and Westbourne teachers, candidates improve their critical thinking, communication and teamwork skills whilst gaining global business acumen.

Empowering students

At Westbourne, we believe that true leadership involves the ability to tackle real-world challenges. From ‘Dragons Den’ business challenges and STEM immersion days in our Prep School, to global collaborative science projects to Sixth Form, students of all ages supported to find innovative solutions to pressing real-world questions, enhancing their ability to think critically and creatively.

Live international events like the Westbourne Global University Challenge and global debating competitions provide students with exciting platforms to showcase their knowledge, debate issues of global significance, and compete on an international stage.

Unrivalled academic support

We have a team of truly outstanding teachers here in Penarth, who go above and beyond to mentor students on a personalised level, ensuring they attain their academic best.

Extending their study further, Penarth students also access subject specialists from our global schools- including live tutorials led by expert teachers in Sydney, or intensive GCSE revision sessions with Singapore specialists. They benefit from the best possible guidance- tailored to them- no matter the timezone or location.

Globally connected alumni

Westbourne students become part of a global alumni network offering lifelong connections, mentoring and career opportunities. By nurturing a culture of global engagement, we prepare them to lead as entrepreneurs, employers and thought leaders.

With exceptional grades at GCSE and Sixth Form, they leave us with the contacts, experience and university-ready skills to hit the ground running. And that’s the Westbourne difference.
