What curriculum do you teach?

Our Nursery follows the EYFS framework, while Prep and Senior School offer a broad, enriching curriculum with flexible GCSE choices and excellent outcomes.

What makes Webber different from a state school?

As an independent school, we offer personalised pathways, broad academic choice, and enrichment beyond the national curriculum, all with the freedom to nurture each child’s potential. We boast excellent exam results – consistently the best in Milton Keynes.

What care and school hours are offered?

Our core school day runs from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, with a Breakfast Club from 7:30 am and daily wraparound care available until 6:00 pm to help support working families.

(*based on current indicative pricing)

What discounts and financial support is available?

We offer sibling discounts of up to 15%, Head’s Scholarships for Years 6–11 based on talent and achievement, and flexible monthly payment plans to make budgeting easier.

Can children join mid‑year?

Yes – we accept pupils at any point in the school year where space allows, ideal for relocating families or those needing flexible entry.

What about SEND support?

We provide tailored support and encourage families to discuss their child’s needs with our leadership team to plan the best approach.

How will you communicate with me as a parent?

Parents receive regular updates on progress and learning, with termly reporting and multiple touchpoints throughout the year. We also have our parent communications app, which delivers tailored content to you without the need for hundreds of emails!
