West House School: Extraordinary Lives Start Here
Situated in the leafy oasis of the Calthorpe Estate, West House School has occupied the same site since its foundation in 1895. Since that time, the school has evolved significantly, to become an independent preparatory school for boys aged 4 – 11 years, with a co-educational Early Years setting offering care for children aged from 6 months. West House is a member of The Independent Association of Preparatory Schools and, as such, upholds the requirement to provide a ‘world class education’.
With five acres of beautiful
grounds, less than two miles from Birmingham city centre, the school lies at
the heart of a thriving community. It is
surrounded by many outstanding cultural and recreational facilities. These enrich the lives of all pupils and form
an important aspect of educating the whole child.
Pupils and staff alike are
guided by the West House Way, a set of values that help pupils develop
understanding rather than tolerance, and to recognise the power of hard work,
determination and resilience. West House School prides itself on providing a balanced
approach to educating pupils for life in the middle of this century,
recognising that education is about so much more than a narrow measurement of
academic achievement alone. At the heart of the school’s ethos lies the view
that children should be allowed to be children and that they are at their most
productive when an appreciation of the balance between work and play is
achieved.
West House is a
non-denominational school. It is divided
into three departments – Prep (Years 3-6), Pre-Prep (Years 1 and 2) and the
Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery – Reception). The school employs 80
full-time and part-time academic staff and accommodates approximately 293
pupils.
Pupils are prepared for a wide
range of senior schools and standards at 11+ are consistently high, with most
Year 6 boys transferring to local grammar schools, King Edward’s School,
Birmingham and Solihull School. However, the school aims to provide a balanced
education in which music, drama, art and sport play a significant role.
