Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. At The Webber Independent School, we understand the significance of this choice and strive to make the admissions process as seamless, informative and stress-free as possible. We believe that every child deserves an education that inspires, challenges and nurtures their unique talents, and our immersive Taster Days offer the perfect introduction to life at Webber.
Starting a new school can be an exciting yet daunting experience, which is why we offer a two-day Taster to help your child settle in and feel at home. This immersive experience is designed to give children a real sense of what it means to be a Webber student, helping them integrate into the school environment, make new friends and engage in enriching learning experiences.
During their Taster Days, your child will:
- Integrate into classes: Your child will attend lessons tailored to their year group, actively participating in engaging and interactive sessions led by our dedicated and experienced teaching staff. Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity and a love of learning, ensuring that every child feels both challenged and supported.
- Engage in Extracurricular Activities: At Webber, education extends beyond the classroom. Your child will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of extracurricular activities, ranging from sports and performing arts to STEM clubs and leadership initiatives. This is a great way for them to explore their interests, develop new skills and form meaningful connections with their peers.
- Build Connections: Friendships play a crucial role in a child’s school experience, and our welcoming student body ensures that every new face feels included in the Webber family. Through classroom collaborations, lunchtime interactions and group activities, your child will quickly feel a sense of belonging within our close-knit community.
- Experience Our Facilities: Webber boasts purpose-built classrooms, excellent science labs, a creative arts studio and brilliant sports facilities. Your child will have the opportunity to explore these spaces and see first-hand how our environment supports both academic excellence and personal growth.
A personalised and supportive approach:
At Webber, we recognize that each child is unique, and our admissions process is designed to cater to individual needs and aspirations. We take a personalized approach to ensure that both children and parents feel informed, confident and excited about the journey ahead.
- Step 1 – Arrange a visit: We encourage families to visit our school to get a feel for our warm and inclusive atmosphere. During this visit, you will meet with our Headmistress, Mrs Hilary Marsden, observe engaging lessons in action and gain insight into our values and approach to education. Our dedicated admissions team is available to answer any questions and guide you through the process.
- Step 2 – Taster Days and assessment: The two-day Taster experience is an essential step in helping your child feel at ease and giving us the opportunity to understand how we can best support their learning journey. Our team will assess their strengths, interests and potential areas for development, ensuring that they receive the tailored support they need to thrive at Webber.
- Step 3 – Offer and welcome: Following the Taster Days, we will provide feedback and discuss the next steps. Once your child has been accepted, we work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition, offering guidance, resources and ongoing support. Our goal is to make every new student feel like a valued member of the Webber family from day one.
