International Women's Day 2026
Celebrating Our Girls’ IWD 2026 Campaign - Give to Gain.
At Westbourne School, ‘Where You Belong’ isn’t just a strapline — it’s a promise. This International Women’s Day, our Senior School girls have brought it to life through their inspiring IWD 2026 campaign, themed ‘Give to Gain’.
Inspiring Through Sport
“We want younger pupils to see that anything is possible.”
From representing Derbyshire in cricket to playing for the Westbourne School Under-13s netball team, our girls actively support their female teammates and encourage younger pupils to take part in sport. They act as role models, showing how teamwork, dedication, and confidence can inspire others to get involved.
Using Performance to Build Confidence
“Performance isn’t just about the stage — it’s about finding your voice.”
Through drama and performance, our girls demonstrate the power of self-expression. By performing and advocating for others, they build confidence, amplify their voices, and encourage younger pupils to speak up and pursue their passions.
Exploring the Written Word
“Words can shine a light on achievement and inspire change.”
Our pupils use writing to explore gender inequalities and celebrate incredible women, past and present, through the Westbourne Word. Their work encourages younger pupils to think critically, express themselves, and recognise the importance of female voices in every field.
Empowerment Through Fashion
“Fashion can be a form of self-expression and empowerment.”
Recently, they have used the school paper the Westbourne Word to explored female fashion as a way to celebrate creativity, confidence, and individuality. By connecting self-expression with empowerment, they inspire younger pupils to embrace their own style and voice.
This campaign perfectly reflects Westbourne School values: empowering pupils to support one another, act as advocates and role models, explore their passions, and confidently make their voices heard.
Well done to all our girls.
