Westbourne Academy

Westbourne Academy teaches English on Alumhurst Road in Westbourne, west of central Bournemouth. Local shops and cafés are within walking distance and the neighbourhood has bus connections to the town centre and the seafront.

Courses

The academy offers General Main English with 20 lessons per week of 40 minutes each, and an English Plus programme extending to 28 lessons per week with an additional focus on speaking and listening. Cambridge examination preparation covers B2 First and C1 Advanced. One-to-one lessons, a Junior Programme, and a distinctive English and Golf combination course are also available.

Location

Westbourne is a residential suburb of Bournemouth west of the town centre, characterised by independent shops and cafés. The 31 Alumhurst Road premises are described as close to bus routes linking the school to central Bournemouth and the seafront, making it accessible despite being outside the immediate town centre cluster.

The difference between General Main and English Plus is especially relevant to learners who need confidence in spoken English. The extended timetable gives listening and speaking a larger place in the week. A student with an exam in mind can instead choose a course built around B2 First or C1 Advanced. The campus also offers individual tuition for learners who want dedicated time with a teacher.
