WESTONBIRT SCHOOL

Westonbirt House is a beautiful place to live.

It reminds many of our pupils of Hogwarts with its extraordinary architecture and amazing interior decoration. Our bright and cosy single rooms and 2-5 bed dorms provide a comfortable and reassuring space for students to relax and sleep.

Rooms are allocated depending on numbers, but in general older students have priority for the single rooms.

Students are fully supported and cared for by experienced and friendly house staff, who make sure that their stay is safe and fun, with medical support available if necessary

Westonbirt School pupils all agree that meals here are absolutely delicious!

They are provided by top school caterers Holroyd Howe, who serve up a varied and nutritious range of meals, with enough choice to meet a wide range of dietary requirements.

Each day students will enjoy a hearty breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon tea and an evening meal.

Meals are taken in the beautiful and ornate dining rooms at Westonbirt.
