West Hill Park School

West Hill Park is a co-educational Preparatory School for children 2½-13 years (boarding from 7-13). Established in 1920 by Charles Ransome, West Hill Park School remained family owned until 1959 when it became a Charitable Trust administered by a Board of Governors.

The fine Prep School building dates from the 18th century and houses the Library, Dining Hall, Recreation Rooms, both boys and girls boarding accommodation and administrative offices.Surrounding buildings house 24 classrooms, and Art and Pottery Centre, a purpose built Music School, two fully equipped Science Laboratories, a Computer Centre, an Assembly Hall with a large stage and theatrical lighting, a twenty five metre indoor heated Swimming Pool, a multi-purpose Sports Hall, a Craft, Design and Technology Centre, a spacious Pre-Prep Department and a Nursery Department in its own attractive garden.

The grounds extend to nearly forty acres and include playing fields, grass and hard tennis courts, woodlands and, in summer, a nine hole golf course.

Boarding at West Hill Park School is a happy and secure experience. Children are welcomed at the boarding house between the ages of 7 and 13. A recent Social Services Report praised the school not only for its outstanding boarding facilities, but also for a pastoral care system second to none.

Each child's happiness and welfare is of primary importance to us at the Boarding House and we aim to create a family atmosphere of homeliness. Fun nights, outings and weekend activities are a regular feature of the boarding programme.

The Boarding House has a dedicated team who give 24 hour pastoral and medical care to each child. The team is led by the resident Housemaster George Thomas, together with the Senior Matron, Linda Jenkins and Matrons, Joanne Legg and Sarah Kemp. There is also a fully qualified RGN Nurse, Lesley Johnson.
