About West House School

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.
