Achieving Excellence Together: Why Year 7 Is the Perfect Time to Join Our Senior School

Posted: 16th April 2025

At The Webber Independent School, our vision of “Achieving Excellence Together” is more than just a motto – it’s the lived experience of our pupils, parents and dedicated staff. As we look ahead to welcoming our next cohort into Year 7 this September, now is the ideal moment for families to consider joining our vibrant Senior School community.

A Seamless Step into Senior School

Year 7 marks a milestone: a chance to grow in independence, explore new subjects and build confidence. At Webber, we ensure this transition is smooth and full of possibility. Our small class sizes, personalised attention and nurturing environment mean every child is known, supported and celebrated from day one. It’s no wonder that 94% of Webber parents told us in our latest Parent Survey (February 2025) that their child enjoys coming to school and learns in a safe environment, with over 92% feeling their child is treated fairly and supported in developing positive relationships.

Academic Excellence, Tailored Learning

Our academic reputation speaks for itself. Pupils benefit from exceptional teaching, individualised learning pathways and consistent stretch and support. As one parent shared: “My son has settled really well in the school and you can see he is learning new topics/subjects each day which he can’t wait to share with us at home. Really pleased with learning at the Webber Independent.” At Webber, we recognise that excellence looks different for every learner. Whether your child thrives on academic challenge, creative expression, or building emotional resilience, we provide the tools and expertise to help them flourish.

A True Partnership with Parents

We believe the strongest educational outcomes stem from a powerful home–school partnership. Webber families are engaged, informed, and valued as active participants in their child’s journey. Over 90% of parents agreed that they receive timely responses and helpful information about their child’s progress. One parent summarised it perfectly: “We have been happy with our relationship with the school and regularly recommend this school to others.”

Nurturing the Whole Child

Pastoral care at Webber is second to none. We take pride in creating an inclusive environment where wellbeing and personal growth are prioritised alongside academic rigour. As highlighted in our recent survey feedback: “Excellent pastoral and educational care. The school has helped my son learn to manage his anxiety and he has flourished academically.” Our dedicated team ensures every student feels safe, respected, and inspired to be their best self – every single day.

Affordable Excellence

We understand that investing in independent education is a significant family decision. That’s why Webber is committed to offering affordable excellence – delivering top-tier education, enriching experiences, and outstanding value. Our fees remain competitive while never compromising on quality, care, or ambition.

Your Child’s Future Starts Here

If you’re exploring the right setting for your child as they approach Senior School, Year 7 at Webber offers a warm welcome and a world of opportunity. From developing leadership skills to excelling in the classroom, this is where bright futures begin. “We feel the school is a fantastic environment for our child. We have seen such an improvement in our daughter since she moved to Webber. For the first time in her life she is actively engaged in her own education.” Express your interest today to discover how your child can thrive at The Webber Independent School – where excellence, care and community come together. Book your personal tour of our school today to meet our staff, tour our facilities and discover the Webber Buzz first hand!
