The globally-minded ethos that underpins the International Baccalaureate runs throughout Westbourne, all the way from Sixth Form down to our Prep School. The IB’s aim is to develop internationally minded adults, who by recognising their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
Whether students choose to study the IB at Sixth Form, or they opt for A-Levels, the IB Learner Profile is nonetheless a central focus that underpins school life, helping to nurture the characteristics that develop students into well-educated, impressive young people, fully equipped to be the leaders of the future.
