School profile

Westonbirt School is a boarding and day school that sits on 210 acres of parkland in Gloucestershire. Originally an all-girls school, Westonbirt became co-educational in 2019 after 90 years of providing a single-sex education. Now the school has an almost even split of boy and girl students. The school is rated excellent for academic achievement and personal development and is placed within the top 5% of schools for value added, offering BTEC options and a Leith's Food and Wine Certificate, alongside their more traditional A Level curriculum.

Best known for...

Westonbirt school has a reputation for providing an excellent well-rounded education to its students, providing BTEC qualifications alongside its A Level programme. This gives students who are not suited to the traditional school system a more vocational and practical option and helps them to better prioritise their education based on what career they want to pursue. The school has impressive facilities for sports and the arts.

Choosing the best education for your child leads many families to consider British schools and universities. However, it is not an easy decision to make.

Our team works hard to understand the needs and strengths of your child, match them to the UK boarding school best suited to their needs, and support them throughout their time in the UK.

Quality you can trust

Academic Families has personal and professional experience with boarding schools. Many of our staff attended boarding schools themselves when they were young or have worked in them. We have all lived overseas and most of us are mothers, so we understand how important it is to find the very best education for every child no matter where that might be in the world.

From our headquarters in Edinburgh to our local staff across the UK, our team regularly visits hundreds of British schools. Our excellent knowledge of the UK education system, accreditation by the Boarding School Association (BSA) and certification from the British Council means we understand UK boarding education from the inside and out, and know how to ensure the best education for each child.

In addition, our guardianship service has been Gold accredited by AEGIS (the Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) since 2016 and also by the BSA, so you know, with Academic Families, you're guaranteed to have the best local support anywhere in the UK.

Moreover, our team are trained MHFA Mental Health First Aiders so we are qualified to support our students with any wellbeing and mental health concerns.
