At Westfield Primary School, our children are treated as individuals: embracing equality and celebrating uniqueness. We strive to provide a high quality education, enabling children to branch out, achieve their best and strengthen their emotional, social and physical well-being.
Children will become curious learners, who can confidently communicate their thoughts and opinions in order to manage the challenges of everyday life. 'Where the roots are deep, there is no need to fear the wind.' We will build the foundation of our community through compassionate, healthy and meaningful relationships: where we all feel safe, protected and loved.
Our goal is to empower all of our children to cultivate and apply their skills, knowledge and individual talents to enable them to take on the world. Our success will be measured by the growth we see in our children. 'From seedlings to saplings, standing tall and proud.' Our vision, as a Westfield family, is to promote independence, individuality and an inquisitive mind.
Westfield Primary School has mixed age group classes, in two phases Cherry Class - Year 1 and Year 2 Larch Class - Year 3 and Year 4
