Whole School Open Day

Our Whole School Open Day is one of the most exciting dates in the West Buckland calendar.

It’s an opportunity for parents and pupils to meet our friendly staff, explore our expansive campus and get to know our school.

The May bank holiday is a normal school day for us, enabling you to see the school in action. With more than 50 families in attendance in May 2024, this is an event not to be missed!

Affordability

We are dedicated to providing a high standard of education to as many children as possible and offer various options to help make our fees more accessible.

Scholarships are awarded based on excellence in various disciplines. Although they may not always include financial rewards, they provide students with access to advanced performance programmes.

Scholarships

We provide a limited number of means-tested bursaries, which cannot be guaranteed. We recommend applying as soon as a place at the school is offered.

Additionally, we offer two types of reductions on our school fees: a sibling discount for families with multiple children enrolled at our school and a 10% reduction for children from families in the British armed forces.
