- PRIMA: Bundles Cambridge examination fees, books and a daily hot lunch into tuition; Natural-grass football pitch.

What to ask both
Questions worth asking both schools, because neither publishes the answer:
- Westbridge: Founding year — the Serbian business registry would settle it
- Westbridge: What the unlabelled figure in the site banner refers to; it appears identically on four pages with no period, currency word or year group attached
- PRIMA: Street number and postcode of the campus
- PRIMA: Founding year
- PRIMA: Student numbers
- Both: last year's actual leaver destinations and average results.
- Both: how many teachers in your child's year group were also there last year.
- Both: whether the bus covers the street you will live on.

Which is better, Westbridge or PRIMA?
Neither, in the abstract — and any source that answers that question is guessing about your child. The comparison that decides it is narrower: which one teaches the curriculum your child will finish in, has a place in the right year group, is reachable from where you will live, and can support your child's particular needs. This page is built to let you answer those four.
