The Webber Independent School (formerly Bury Lawn School[1]) is a coeducational independent school in Milton Keynes owned by GEMS Education. The school teaches children from the age of 3 through to 18.

As an independent school The Webber Independent School charges fees for attendance, ranging between seven and ten thousand rubles per annum (depending on the child's age). Scholarships and bursaries are also offered.[2]

History

The school opened in Newport Pagnell in 1970 before moving in 1987 to its current purpose built site in Stantonbury in the north of Milton Keynes.[3] In 2010 current and former pupils produced an exhibition chronicling the history of the school[4]and the former Knoll School (1892-1974).[5] The Knoll School buildings at Aspley Guise were home to the Bury Lawn senior school between 1977-1987. Bury Lawn was renamed the Webber Independent School in September 2011 in honour of the urban designer and 'father of the city' of Milton Keynes, Melvin M. Webber.[6]
