Our philosophy at Westbrook Hay is that children need a happy family atmosphere, friendly yet disciplined, in order to develop as complete individuals.
Entrance is non-selective and consequently classes are small and certain subjects are setted to cater for the varying range of ability and aptitude. There are 22 full-time qualified members of staff and four part-time teachers. In addition to Rugby, Soccer and Cricket visiting staff teach various musical instruments, judo, riding. Resident staff supervise such activities as chess, carpentry, shooting, swimming, gymnastics and gardening.
The School has spacious playing fields and ample sports facilities. We have a fine sporting record and playing for enjoyment is a substantial factor in this success. A golf course adjoins the school grounds. The Sports Hall was opened early in 1995 and provides first class, all-weather and indoor sports opportunities. Indoor cricket nets, hockey, basket ball, netball, five-a-side football etc.
Westbrook Hay has a limited number of vacancies annually for children with specific learning difficulties. A language unit has been established and is run as recommended by the Dyslexia Institute at Staines and staffed by Institute qualified teachers.
Children are prepared for The Common Entrance Examination or Public Schools Scholarship exams for all HMC Public Schools.
