Westbourne House School 西本屋小學（西本屋學校）

校長致辭

歡迎瀏覽我校官網！我可以非常肯定地告訴大家，看完我的介紹后，大家將非常樂意送孩子到我們學校就讀。同時，我也會告訴大家，選擇讓孩子就讀我校，是您對孩子作出人生最重要的決定之一。

我校的教育理念是快樂的孩子會更為自信，這對他們的學習和生活都非常有幫助。那我們該如何讓孩子快樂和自信呢？針對不同的學科，我校將根據學生的能力分班學習。如果一個學生數學很強，英語一般，我們將把孩子放在數學快班學習，同時把他放到英語普通班學習。同時，我們還會讓該學生學習其他“普通”學科，如：戲劇，紡織，食品技術，陶瓷，藝術，音樂和參加不同的體育運動訓練。讓孩子離開“舒適區(qū)”，并體驗不同的學科學習，這是提升孩子自信的有效方法—這既能讓孩子熱情地接受新挑戰(zhàn)，同時也能讓孩子在一定范圍內出色地完成力所能及的學科學習。

我校為學生提供全面發(fā)展的教育而出名，過去五年，我校贏得超哥100個教育獎項及證書。多年來，我校已成為名校中學的搖籃：彼德萊斯中學，博耐頓女校，布萊頓中學，布萊恩斯頓中學，坎福德中學，切特豪斯公學，克雷格中學，伊頓公學，哈羅公學，赫斯彼朋特中學，藍星中學，馬克堡中學，樸茨茅斯文理學校，樸茨茅斯高中，拉德利中學，威靈頓中學，溫切斯特中學等。包容是我校教學宗旨之一，讓孩子充分抓住每個機會發(fā)展自己的所長，讓孩子在小學階段體驗一切，均是我們所追求的。

最后，希望大家親自拜訪我校，您將能親身感受到我校完善的設備設施，及對孩子的關愛，如您沒有時間參觀，也可瀏覽我校官網。我很自豪地告訴大家：我校非常有信心能把孩子培養(yǎng)為全面發(fā)展，而且快樂又自信的學生。期待來年能在我校看到孩子們的身影!

ISI Inspection Report

We have pulled out a few excerpts that highlight our refreshing approach: to give children the time and space to enjoy their childhood, whilst achieving outstanding results.

Broad curriculum

Exceptional creative talents are evident in many areas…especially in art, music and drama.” - ISI

We give children endless opportunities to find their strengths and shine.  Designed to be holistic and stimulating, our curriculum is an unforgettable journey of discovery: ceramics, science experiments, field trips, drama, cooking, poetry, music, kayaking as well as many other sports. Plus our innovative English and maths programmes establish deep understanding from the very early years. 

Learning tailored to the individual

Teachers have detailed knowledge of the children, allowing carefully focused support to be provided." - ISI

Thanks to small class sizes, we keep a close eye on each child’s progress and ensure that extra support is given where needed, and to spot when a child is ready to push themselves further.   We use flexible pacing and grouping, allowing us to cultivate the talents of each child, and put support in place when needed. Everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential.

"Pupils with SEND benefit both from the specialist and targeted support they receive and from the increased self-confidence they gain from the whole school learning experience." - ISI report

Quality of teaching

The teaching encourages the whole-hearted enjoyment of lessons by the pupils.” - ISI

We hire talented teachers to give children the best chance to experience the joy of learning. As the report comments, our teachers allow ‘pupils of all abilities, needs and ages effectively to acquire knowledge and skills to make excellent progress.’ 

This excellent progress is reflected in the exceptional results of our pupils.  

Exceptional results

Pupils' Common Entrance examination results are excellent." - ISI

Thanks to our talented teachers and ethos that each child should aim high, our pupils go on to some of the most prestigious schools in the country, including Benenden, Brighton College, Canford, Eton, Harrow, Marlborough, Wellington, Winchester and Wycombe Abbey. Over the last  five years, Westbourne House Year 8 pupils have won over 125 scholarships to senior schools.

Healthy lifestyle and outdoor play

"There are frequent opportunities for outdoor play and exercise, including the extensive sports programme and many other extra-curricular outdoor activities." - ISI

We create free time for our children to explore our grounds, some 100 acres of beautiful parkland at the foot of the South Downs, returning with muddy knees and renewed spirit. It’s key to life here because we know that children who spend time outside are happier, healthier and more creative.

Family focus

A friendly, family atmosphere is evident throughout the school.”  - ISI

There is a deeply-felt sense of family and community here. We really get to know each child: there are many chances to bond thanks to the small class sizes and time spent with staff outside of lessons. As a result, our pupils feel safe, cared for and are open and confident.

High quality experiences in the Pre-Prep and Nursery

All children in EYFS, including those with SEND, achieve well due to the high quality experiences provided throughout the setting." - ISI

Our children leave the Pre-Prep confident and enthusiastic about learning, and with the feeling that they can succeed and achieve anything. 

Leadership

‘Many pupils show exemplary organisational skills and leadership abilities.’ - ISI

Every child has the potential to be a leader and we believe it is never too early to start teaching leadership skills.  Our ‘line leader to troop leader’ leadership programme is innovative and involves children from Year 1 to Year 9 in leadership positions.

Development of Character

Pupils throughout the school demonstrate exceptional confidence.” - ISI

We believe in developing personal qualities in children that empower them to thrive at school and at home: resilience, learning from setbacks, appreciating their good fortune and thinking of others. It is our belief that this positive mind-set will guide them towards success throughout their lives.

Attitude of pupils

Pupils show initiative and work remarkably well on their own, collaboratively and with their teachers.” - ISI

The ISI report highlights the positive attitude our children have to learning: eagerness, concentration and the way our pupils show initiative.
