About campus

Westbourne School is located in a beautiful, small, and safe seaside town, just 10 minutes from the capital city of Cardiff, with excellent rail links to London and the rest of the UK. The campus offers a cozy on-campus boarding house, a house-type building with fewer students than a dormitory, fostering a close-knit community. Additionally, there is an off-campus boarding house that provides a similar homely atmosphere, as well as a homestay option where students live with local families for a full cultural immersion experience. The school's location and boarding options provide students with a safe, supportive, and enriching environment.
