Such incredible stats! Mr Musson is the only seventh headmaster of Westbourne House School in its 119 year history.

From its days as a prep school for boys in Folkestone run by the incredible Miss Hare (later Mrs Hilton) to its post war 'home' in the former Officers' Mess at Shopwyke House, West Sussex, Westbourne House has a rich and wonderful history which demonstrates the resilience, fight and love for Westbourne House - a true "oasis of learning".

Thank you to Pennicott Signwriting - pupils and staff alike were amazed to witness the very steady hand painting of Mr Musson's name.

We've just added last year's Troop Leaders to the board.

It is always a special moment, but not one our previous leaders see until they visit later.

So here's a sneak preview as the names were skillfully painted on.

What a beautiful day for lakeside learning! We never take for granted how lucky we are to have this lake within our school grounds. From watersports to wildlife walks it gives all our pupils so many different opportunities.

Our newbies have been catching up. It's four weeks today since they joined their new school - how's it going so far?

It’s a big thumbs up from our new headmaster Mr Musson. Huge, happy grins from our youngest pupils in Nursery.

It’s wonderful to see all our new joiners (young and older!) settling in so well.

Which artist is inspiring our Year 5 pupils?

The imaginative and wonderful Gustavo Ramirez Cruz - .r.cruz.98 - and his colourful, mesmerizing world of Bestiario! Year 5 are busy making their own compendium of wonderful critters out of papier mâché.

It all started with a trip to Marwell Zoo to sketch and start imagining.

Children at Westbourne House have a vibrant co-curricular life - art, music, sport, drama help children explore their interests, build skills and discover who they are.

Here come the girls!

A big shout out to these cross country teams who showed huge grit and determination at the cross country College.

Our junior and senior cross-country girls’ teams have had an incredible start to the term, with some pupils competing against 12 schools in races with up to 80 runners.
Facing tough terrain and huge crowds at over a fortnight of competition, their grit paid off over the 3km course with impressive team results.

Head of Girls’ Sport, Clare Cook, said: “Cross country is a total team effort and every single runner helped secure these fantastic results.”

🥇 U8 girls - first place overall for the second year running, with every runner finishing in the top 20!

🥇 U9 Girls: Took first place as a team, with ML placing first overall 🥇

🥈 U11 Girls finished with a strong second place finish

🥇 U13 girls (Years 7 & 8) finished in fist place overall, with two runners placing 9th and 10th.

Visit and you’ll quickly see what makes us different.

A place where children are encouraged to be brave, not perfect.

To question, explore and think for themselves.

A happy, ambitious place where imagination roams, friendship grows and childhood is truly valued.

Come and see it for yourself. We so look forward to welcoming you.

All in a day's learning.

A beachside classroom for all our pupils on our doorstep.

This term, beach school days for our Year 1 and 2 pupils, who worked in teams to build mermaids and creatures of the sand and sea, while our Year 7 geography field-trippers also headed to West Wittering Beach to explore the formation of East Head, coastal defences and sand dune management.

Making the most of our wonderful environment.

Reception, you're next!

Featured in the Tatler Schools Guide 2027...and we couldn’t be prouder.

“When I did my tour, I didn’t want to leave,” one parent shared with Tatler.

At Westbourne House, children are encouraged to be open-minded, to make mistakes and to learn from them. Pupils know they are supported every step of the way.

Thank you to for recognising what makes this community so special - a place where children learn to think with confidence, thrive in a kind environment and have the self-belief to make their own path.
