Westbourne School is a co-educational independent school offering continuous education from Nursery through to IB Diploma Sixth Form.

OVERVIEW

from nursery to ib diploma,
one seamless digital home.

THE CHALLENGE

  •  Four distinct school phases (Nursery, Prep, Senior, Sixth Form) each required their own architecture, tone, and admissions journey
  • Boarding provision needed a dedicated section, covering options, the boarding house, homestay, and boarding life, aimed at international families and agents.
  • International admissions required separate pathways, fee information, and application processes distinct from the domestic journey
  • iSAMS MIS integration needed to be planned in from the outset, providing direct portal access for parents
  • GCSE and IB Diploma subject pages required templating at scale, consistent, content-rich, and manageable by the school’s own team.

OUR APPROACH

Innermedia worked from a V6 sitemap, reflecting the extensive pre-design planning that structured everything from Nursery intake through GCSE, IB Diploma Inner Core (TOK, CAS, EE), boarding, School Life, and News under one cohesive framework.

iSAMS integration was built in as a core deliverable with a dedicated Parents portal section. International applications received their own clearly signposted pathway within Admissions, ensuring overseas families could find and act on everything they needed without friction.

DESIGN & UX

every audience served,
every journey clear

The design had to serve audiences as different as a nursery parent searching for morning sessions and an international student comparing IB schools in the UK. A clear top-level navigation, consistent visual language across school phases, and phase-specific entry points on the homepage ensure every visitor reaches their relevant content in the fewest possible clicks. The boarding and international sections carry their own visual warmth, reflecting the community and care that characterise life at Westbourne.

OUTCOMES

from local nursery to global
sixth form, under one roof.

 A comprehensive, full-architecture independent school website — seamlessly connecting Nursery to IB Sixth Form under a single, navigable digital presence, with iSAMS integration, international admissions, and a boarding section built for a genuinely global prospective audience.
