New independent school set to open

A NEW independent school is opening in St Clears in January.

Westward House School will focus on small class sizes and individually tailored teaching.

As well as teaching fulltime pupils, the school will offer part-time classes for home educated children who need specialist tuition to help them achieve exams, or simply want to build confidence, make friends and learn new skills.

Located in the refurbished Old Library in the town’s Pentre Road, Westward House School will open on January 5.

Headteacher Michelle Dunne said: “In education, one size doesn’t fit all and at Westward House School we create a learning environment for individuals, rather than making individuals fit into a system designed for the majority. For us, it’s all about individuals working at their own pace at a level that is right for them.

“By offering a variety of opportunities, we ensure every pupil has success.

“Our curriculum is broad and adaptive to needs and with specialist support for those who need it.

“Learning needs to come to life in a variety of settings and with a variety of approaches.

“At the forefront of our ethos is creating a very supportive and caring school where everyone is respected and appreciated for who they are. We are very much looking forward to welcoming our first pupils in January.”
