Achieving excellent results year on year

The Webber Independent School is celebrating for the eleventh year running as its students continue to achieve significantly above national expectations with excellent GCSE results.

The Webber students say they feel ‘proud’ of their achievements but know that hard work and extra-curricular activities contribute to their well-rounded success. They feel ready for those all-important next steps in their learning journey.

Students at The Webber are more than just their results as they secure places in some of the best post-16 destinations across the county; enriched with the ‘Webber Edge’ students embrace the challenges of the modern world. 16-year-old Georgia said:

“The boosters and past papers were most helpful in preparing for our exams, I am so pleased with my results and securing my sixth form placement.”

The Webber is particularly proud of its students’ outstanding behaviour and academic performance. Since 2011, they have achieve significantly above the national average with almost 50% of all exam results being the top grades of 7 to 9. This year 97% of Year 11 students’ results were Grade 4 to 9, with many of them achieving excellent Value- Added results of at least one grade higher than predicted.

The Webber places a high value on traditional academic strength and helps young people achieve their best results while also ensuring they are well-equipped for an exponentially changing career landscape. Offering an inclusive and highly personalised learning curriculum to help students unlock their full potential, the approach to a modern, affordable education has seen The Webber remain one of the top- performing schools in Milton Keynes.

Headmistress Hilary Marsden said:

“Webber students are the future game changers and we are so proud of them, their families and our fantastic teachers who have worked exceptionally hard in partnership as a Webber Family.”

When parents choose The Webber Independent School for their child, they select educators who will be at their your side providing support and personalised guidance, helping the child achieve their goals. The school is divided into three specialist areas: Nursery six months to four years, Prep school Reception to Year 6 and Senior School Years 7 to 11. Each area is led by inspirational experts with many years of first-class experience.

One parent said:

“I am amazed, overjoyed and super proud of everyone and how hard they have worked. The good timetabling, scheduling and preparation that Webber provided us all really helped with revision.”

Nurturing Nursery

The Nursery’s beautifully appointed spacious grounds and bespoke learning spaces offer children unlimited exploration and play, developing their well-being and confidence in a cosy, safe and loving environment. Outdoor classrooms, a woodland area, and landscaped grounds provide further opportunities for exploration and wonder.

Although standalone, the Nursery is an integral part of the highly regarded Webber Independent School. The children enjoy drama and yoga in the dance studio, multi-sports in the spacious indoor sports hall and outdoor astroturf pitch. They also enjoy home-cooked nutritious meals and cooking sessions with the in-house chef, eco lessons in the Eco-Garden and play with friends in two creatively resourced outdoor areas.

One of the key elements The Webber parents value highly is a seamless transition to ‘big school’ supported by a stage-not- age approach to their individual learning journey. The Webber’s newly built pre-prep room is designed especially for this transition, introducing young learners to school life and engaging them in play and development, with a stronger focus on numeracy and literacy.

Passionate Prep

The redesigned, inviting learning environment offers a warm and stimulating setting. The degree-qualified staff inspire, enrich and empower the children to maximise the numerous opportunities on offer. The small class sizes and family focus are why parents choose The Webber year after year.

The extra-curricular programme of music, multi-sports, after- school activities and leadership opportunities provide children with a well-rounded and vibrant experience. Learning extends well beyond the classroom and local community, further enriching the learning experience with hands-on field trips and meaningful community initiatives.

The Prep School is committed to delivering a transformative experience to the children that builds their confidence, challenges them to step out of their comfort zone, and sparks a lifelong love of learning.

Successful Senior

Developing confident, articulate and well-rounded young people with a passion for learning is at the heart of the senior school provision. The Webber works in strong partnership with parents who have invested in their child’s future, embedding an ethos of excellence and encouraging each young person to maximise their potential.

The Webber delivers personalised learning and enhances the National Curriculum with work-related learning, study skills and character education, extra-curricular activities, clubs and enrichment trips. It offers a modern approach to private education in a real world, collaborative and engaging environment. The wide range of GCSE subjects combined with the flexibility and tailored programmes, help focus young people’s choices around their strengths and talents.

The Webber’s students stand out from the crowd to confidently follow their pathways to success.

The Webber offers the affordability of high-quality educational provision accessed through a family-friendly monthly payment plan for aspirational parents looking to invest in their child’s future. The Webber welcomes all to experience this for themselves at its upcoming Open Day on October 12. Visit the website to book attendance. Alternatively, every day is an open day and parents can contact the Registrar to arrange a bespoke tour at their own convenience.
