iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Westacre Middle is a vibrant school that offers an exciting mix combining the ethos of a primary education within the facilities of a 9 -12 middle school. We are fortunate to have a spacious site with over 10 acres of playing fields and landscaped gardens.
Our school offers an excellent range of facilities including Science, Art, Design and Technology and music suites, learning resources area and ICT facilities. All of which we use to enhance and inspire our children's love of learning. Our specialist areas are all on the ground floor and we provide wheel chair friendly access should it be required.
At Westacre we believe we have the best of both worlds. For our Year 5 & Year 6 children, we offer a structured primary approach where children spend a significant amount of time being taught by their class teacher. While our Year 7 children have access to subject specific, specialist teaching using our well resourced workshops, lab and music suite.
We are a welcoming, happy, caring and lively school where individuality is valued and all our children are encouraged to achieve their full potential for life. Our school vision, 'Inspire. Challenge. Achieve', is what we aim to achieve as adults and children every day.
