From Pre-IB to IGCSE
In 2024, Westbourne extended its offering to Year 10 with a powerful Pre-IB programme. This provided a fresh start for ambitious minds in STEM and business, preparing students for the rigour of the IB Diploma. Now, in 2026, we are going further with the launch of Year 9 and the IGCSE programme. This marks the beginning of a more structured pathway for students to grow into the IB Diploma, while still exploring their passions and developing independence at a crucial stage in their learning.
Why Year 9?
Year 9 is a pivotal time. It’s the start of senior learning years where curiosity, independence, and academic potential begin to flourish. At Westbourne, we see it as the ideal moment to step into a focused, professional learning environment.
Why Westbourne?
Westbourne is more than a school. It’s a launchpad
What makes Westbourne truly different is not only the way we teach, but the vision behind it.
- Global connections: Students don’t just prepare for exams, they explore big ideas, connect across continents, and collaborate with our sister schools in the UK and Singapore.
- Real-world learning: Our students take part in unique experiences like a mini-MBA in partnership with INSEAD professors, the world’s #2 business school, and engage in our weekly guest speaker programme featuring leaders from science, technology, and business.
- World-class facilities: Westbourne students have the unique opportunity to conduct experiments in the UTS Superlab, a space usually reserved for university students.
- Professional culture: With no uniforms and no staff rooms, Westbourne is intentionally designed to mirror a professional, future-focused environment.
We are proudly selective. We are unapologetically ambitious. And we are focused on doing one thing extremely well: preparing the next generation of scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and change makers.
Scholarships for Ambitious Minds
To celebrate the launch of our Year 9 cohort, Westbourne is offering scholarships for students entering Years 9, 10, and 11 in 2026. These scholarships are designed to support talented, globally-minded students who share our values of ambition, curiosity, and innovation.
With no application fees, flexible start dates, and a streamlined admissions process, it has never been easier for students and families to explore what makes Westbourne different.
