🌿 Where every child thrives… 🌿

At Westville House School, we believe that an exceptional education is about so much more than what happens inside the classroom.

Our exceptional facilities provide the perfect backdrop for an all-round education. From modern classrooms and a well-equipped science lab and art room, to expansive sports fields and a full-size school gym, our pupils have space to learn, explore, create and grow.

Our Forest School areas, natural spaces and stream encourage curiosity, independence and a love of the outdoors, while our creative arts spaces provide opportunities for every child to discover and develop their talents. 🎨🔬🌳🏃‍♀️🎭

And it’s not just the facilities that make Westville special. Set within beautiful countryside with exceptional views, our school offers a stimulating, supportive and inspiring environment where children can build confidence, develop friendships and discover their individual strengths.

🍁 Our forest after school club ended with a bang! The children had a go at a bit of Hapa-zome (which is Japanese style leaf printing on a bit of fabric) and on top of the child led fun we had some nice campfire treats to finish. The children had hot dogs for dessert they enjoyed some campfire waffle cone Smore surprise and for third course they had Smore bursts, they were well fed in their last session of the year.

For us marked an end to our year 6 who have been attending the session since we started 5 years ago, so for us it was a nice way for us to end their Westville GoWild Outdoors Ltd forest school with them.

Our child led sessions here are out for the summer, we will be back on the 7th September. If anyone fancies joining in the GoWild Outdoors forest school club, our sessions run between 4:15-5:15pm each Mondays! Come and join in the fun.
