Welcome to Middle School

Welcome to Middle School - Where Self Discovery belongs!

A key part of the Westbourne experience is our Middle School, encompassing Year 7 and Year 8. This stage of education is designed to bridge the gap between Junior School and Senior School learning, fostering independence and preparing pupils for the challenges ahead.

A cornerstone of our Middle School programme is the emphasis on independent study.  We believe that empowering pupils to take ownership of their learning is crucial for developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning.  Through dedicated independent study time, pupils learn to manage their workload, prioritise tasks, and explore topics that pique their interest, all while being supported by a variety of resources and guidance from our experienced faculty.

Our school also offers a wide range of other academic and extracurricular activities.  We have a strong tradition in the arts, with programmes in music, drama, art, and dance.  For those interested in sports, we offer a wide range of teams, including football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, and athletics.

We believe that all pupils should have the opportunity to explore their interests and passions. We are confident that your child will find a place at Westbourne School where they can thrive.

We are excited to welcome you to the Westbourne School community. We hope that your child has a successful and rewarding experience here.

Individualised Learning & Pupil Progress

As part of their enrichment programme, pupils braved the rain and visited The Botanical Gardens on Thursday morning to complete two challenges. Their first quest was to work in teams to solve the Riddle Trail, with clues penned by local author Berlie Doherty inscribed onto pieces of artwork hidden amongst the plants and features of the garden. Their second mission was to find all items on their Botanical Bingo sheet and take a photo as evidence. Items to be hunted down included an insect on a flower, moss growing on a rock and of course, no trip to the Botanical Gardens would be complete without tracking down its famous bear! Pupils will be asked to compile a photo montage of their snaps and bring it to their English lessons this term to be used as the basis for creative writing. We were very impressed with the way in which pupils approached this experiential learning opportunity – engaging with nature, noticing the things around them and working effectively as teams. Congratulations to Ms Leyland's group who completed the Riddle Trail in the fastest time; a team treat will be heading their way soon as a prize! Image
