Our philosophy is that every child should be treated as the unique individual they are, and we are always working to ensure we can meet the needs of all the young people who attend Westbourne.

We believe that our pupils should leave with more than just qualifications. They should be well-rounded, responsible citizens that can positively contribute to their communities.

Many pupils consider school to be their only safe, happy and consistent experience and our determination is to provide an environment where all pupils flourish.

We strive to ensure that all pupils are presented with the best possible opportunities to pursue their passions, develop the skills required to understand themselves and others, regulate their emotions and successfully access further education or employment.
