About

A warm welcome to West Lodge School, a small independent school with a strong family ethos that encourages each child to develop as an individual. As a parent myself, I fully appreciate choosing the right school for your child is the most important decision you can make on their behalf. There are many good schools in the area so, what makes West Lodge special?

One of the distinctive features of our school is its size. West Lodge is a small school with one class per year group and a maximum of 22 children in each class, enabling staff to know each and every child. Each child receives the individual attention that they need in order to thrive, giving them the best possible start to their education.

We know that this model works and have no plans to increase our intake. Although a city school, West Lodge has the unique feel of the archetypal village school coupled with 21st century opportunity. Theres an empahsis on learning skills that can be applied to future careers that dont even yet exist, due to the fast pace of technological advance.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
