Why All-Girls' Schools are Best!

At Westonbirt School, we are convinced that girls' schools provide the best senior education option for all girls.

Like all of the top British girls' boarding schools, we are members of the GSA (Girls' Schools Association) and play an active part in the running of this excellent organisation. Please click here to visit the GSA's website.

Public Schools for Girls Only
Westonbirt is proud to be an independent single sex school at which all girls will thrive.
There is still a huge and demonstrable demand for independent girls schools, particularly the top public girls schools, and state girls schools continue to flourish too.

The Advantages of All Girls' Single Sex Schools
Here girls can truly achieve their best without the distractions of boys to inhibit them. This is particularly true in subjects perceived to be traditionally boys subjects but our excellent exam results in subjects such as science and maths show that just how well girls do in this environment.

The Benefits of Private Education for Girls
Of course, all private schools have considerable advantages over state schools in that they have autonomy and financial independence – and a bigger budget thanks to private school fees. There is also less pressure to conform with national standards and trends. While fashions for single sex schools in the state sector come and go, we firmly believe that all girls' private schools will always be in demand. The recent increase in girls joining our sixth form from coeducational senior schools suggests that even the girls themselves agree!
