As the Headteacher, I am very proud of all that we do here at Westlea Primary School. Our school has a reputation for developing the ‘whole child’ and our mission at Westlea is pure and simple: ‘We work together for success for all’.
At Westlea Primary, the children and their families are our priority. We work hard to nurture the growth of every pupil developing academically, physically, socially, culturally and spiritually and we ensure that they are happy and well cared for.
Our school has two guiding principles, firstly that we pursue the highest academic standards to ensure all our children achieve their full potential. Through our exciting and motivating curriculum, our children soon develop a love of learning and want to achieve their very best. Our second guiding principle is that we are part of a family with a strong ethos of care and support for one another. Children at our school are happy and look after one another. Good manners are strongly promoted and our children are regularly complimented on them by visitors to the school.
Our guiding principles, supported by our vision, mission and values, help to ensure our children blossom into confident, polite, well rounded young people who, by the time they move on at the end of their primary years, are proud of their achievements and feel good about themselves. A huge influence on our success is the relentless high standards in all that we do. We have a highly motivated, enthusiastic team of staff who always put the children first and pride ourselves on going the extra mile.
We are passionate about giving our children the very best of everything. We believe our children deserve the absolute best through high expectations, equality and access for all, helping to create a deeply supportive learning community.
Teamwork is a strong theme that runs throughout our school. Effective primary education is a partnership between children, staff and parents. We look forward to working with you to ensure your child is valued as an individual and has a safe, happy and successful time with us. We are committed to all aspects of education and development, encouraging families to work in partnership with us to realise our aim, of successfully helping each and every child to achieve their full potential and live remarkable lives.
Our school is a very busy place with many enriching events for the children and their families. We look forward to working together in our warm and welcoming school and we can achieve the best outcomes for all children. We continually evaluate what we do in order to give the children the very best education. We know the importance of that parents/carers play in their child’s education and so fully welcome your involvement in your child’s education and in the life of our school.
I feel very privileged to be the Headteacher of such a thriving, successful and happy school.
I warmly invite you to come and visit us.
