When will facilities be ready for students and what upgrades are being made?

We’re very lucky to inherit a school which had extensive facilities already in place.Most rooms will therefore retain their original function. However, we will be creating a dedicated boys’ dormitory in the Stable Block, which was previously used for teaching.Some classrooms will be redeveloped into specialist subject areas, such as a moot court and an IT laboratory. Classrooms that remain in use will be upgraded with the latest educational technology, including smart boards, to ensure students benefit from a modern and high-quality learning environment.All other areas, including accommodation bathrooms, will be fully refurbished to meet statutory health and safety requirements.All refurbishment works will be completed by June 2026, in time for our Summer School.

How does the college attract and maintain high-quality teaching staff ?

Recruiting the right teachers is of paramount importance to us.We will use specialist sector recruitment agencies, alongside our own expertise to identify staff who are not only academically qualified, but who also share our ethos of supporting students to reach their full potential.Recruitment will be phased and prioritised to maintain high standards. Once appointed, staff performance and conduct will be monitored through robust leadership and governance structures.

How is the College governed, and who provides oversight?

A Board of Governors is currently being established.Once finalised, details of its membership and roles will be published on our website.The Board will comprise a balanced mix of independent and internal members.Independent governors will provide external oversight and constructive challenge, while staff members with responsibility in key areas, such as safeguarding and academic standards, will ensure that recommendations are effectively implemented and informed by professional expertise.

Which Curriculum and qualifications does the college offer?

All qualifications we offer are based on well-established curricula with clearly defined learning outcomes.Our A Level programmes are awarded by the Cambridge International Examination Board, and our Foundation Year programmes have been developed in partnership with our university partners, with clear and supported progression pathways.

How does the college support Student wellbeing and Personal development?

We place student wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.Through strong pastoral support, high-quality teaching, and a nurturing boarding environment, we aim to ensure every student feels safe, supported, and valued.Our staff work closely with students to monitor wellbeing, encourage personal development, and help each individual achieve their full potential.

How is the college designed for long-term sustainability and stability?

Many established independent schools have closed because they carry legacy cost structures and inflexible overheads.Westerfield is being set up with a leaner, more sustainable operating model and strong planning around staffing and delivery.In short: we’re not inheriting the same structural burdens that often sink other schools, and we’re building with sustainability and delivery readiness from day one.

How does the college keep students safe?

Safeguarding is audited and held accountable through multiple layers:Governance: A Board (including safeguarding oversight) challenges decisions and reviews safeguarding practice.Legal compliance: Safeguarding is not optional, the school must comply with statutory safeguarding requirements and guidance.External inspection / standards frameworks: Safeguarding is scrutinised through external standards and inspection expectations (including any relevant accreditation frameworks where applicable).Internal systems: Clear policies, reporting routes, record keeping, training, and safer recruitment create an auditable safeguarding trail.
