Weston Green School

What Weston Green School does

Weston Green School is a co-educational independent preparatory school located on Weston Green Road in Thames Ditton, Surrey (KT7 0JN), United Kingdom, founded in 1952 and operating as Weston Green School Limited (a private limited company). It is owned by Bellevue Education International Limited, a London-based private education group, and is led by Headteacher Mr David Brown. The school delivers a continuous educational pathway from Little Prep nursery (age 2+) through Reception (4+) and the Prep School (Reception to Year 6), serving families across Thames Ditton, Esher, Surbiton, Claygate, Molesey and Long Ditton, plus wider Surrey and the Kingston upon Thames borough. Its core curriculum is built around two proprietary programmes: the Bright Beginnings early years curriculum (rooted in the EYFS, with specialist teaching in music, French, sport, drama, computing and mindfulness) and SkillQuest, a weekly off-timetable immersive programme launched in 2025 and extended down into Reception and Little Prep from September 2025 to teach creative thinking, digital literacy, resilience, leadership and ethical awareness. The Future Schools Pathway adds structured 11+ preparation using the BOFA adaptive learning platform alongside verbal/non-verbal reasoning and arithmetic, with 100% of the 2025-2026 Year 6 cohort receiving at least one offer at their shortlisted senior schools.

The school's revenue model is dominated by tuition fees billed termly or monthly across three tiers — Reception at £5,480/term (£1,494/month), Years 1-2 at £5,680/term (£1,549.09/month), and Years 3-6 at £6,117/term (£1,668.27/month) — with full packages bundling wrap-around care from 7:45am to 6:15pm, lunches, and textbooks. Nursery sessions are sold separately at £55-£57 per morning and £31.60-£35 per afternoon (with Early Years Funding accepted), while ancillary income is generated by hiring classrooms, the music room, and main hall to external users outside school hours and during holidays. Go-to-market is direct and admissions-led: prospective families book personalised tours with the Headteacher, attend open mornings or virtual open events, and access 18-36 month soft play sessions as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel. The school was awarded an ISI 'Significant Strength' in its March 2025 inspection — a regulatory recognition stated to be achieved by fewer than 1 in 10 schools. Operating status is active with a headcount of 23 employees and no disclosed revenue figure.
