Learning
The key to academic success at Westbourne School, Sheffield's leading independent co-educational school, is the small class sizes. Throughout the school,
the ratio of pupils to teachers is around 15 to 1, and is often much less. Outstanding teacher-pupil
ratios allow individual attention, variable levels of progress within a single class and a quick reponse
to students who are falling behind, or pupils seeking to work at a faster pace.
Imagination
Creative expression at Westbourne School, Sheffield's leading co-educational independent school, pervades all curriculum areas, from the arts to technologies
and science. Art and Design, Drama and Music are, however, three subject areas where creativity
has a strong central theme.
Fulfilment
Active and healthy living is promoted at Westbourne School, Sheffield's leading co-educational independent school.
Expert coaching of all pupils, irrespective of their perceived sporting ability,
and access to the best facilities in the city for all students is the underlying philosophy of
sporting opportunities at Westbourne.
Enthusiasm
There is one cohesive team at work in Westbourne School, which includes staff, pupils and parents.
From this crucial dynamic, many examples of teamwork and leadership flow. Examples include peer elected
house captains, outward bound trips and participation in an elected Student Council.

Westbourne School for Girls and Boys is Sheffield's fastest growing independent
school in recent years, offering a unique combination of co-education,
small class sizes (average 15), attention to the individual and development
of a rounded character.
Westbourne Independent School, Sheffield, is rightly proud of its ethos
to educate children for life. This means not only academic excellence,
but a breadth of curricula and extra-curricula experiences.
Westbourne School students are happy, confident and possess strong self-esteem,
while respecting others. This is achieved in a disciplined but exciting
school environment.
Sheffield offers a broad range of independent education, but Westbourne
School is the first independent school to have introduced co-education
from Reception (age 4) to GCSE (age 16). Our doubling in size (both pupil
numbers and campus) in recent years reflects parental support for our
approach to education. Despite the growth, we have maintained our famed
small class sizes which are central to Westbourne School's ethos.
