Specialist facilities
At Westbourne School, we pride ourselves on offering a broad and balanced curriculum which is uniquely tailored to meet the individual needs of each pupil. By creating a blend of academic and vocational learning opportunities, we will strive to ensure that each pupil achieves success, regardless of what form it may take.
The ground floor consists of a variety of purpose-built vocational units with high quality facilities and equipment which give pupils a sense of real working environments. There are also horticulture spaces on site and the school is close to a variety of large woods and country parks which provide opportunities for Outdoor Education, Duke of Edinburgh and Forest Schools.
Support services provided
Beyond the core educational team, we also have a dedicated pastoral team and therapeutic intervention, currently in the form of Speech and Language Therapy and Counselling. This will increase as pupil numbers do
General environment
