‘Learning and Growing together’ is our school vision which we aim to achieve following the guiding principles of The Elliot Foundation Academy Trust:

1. Put children first;
2. Be safe;
3. Be kind and respect all;
4. Be open to change;
5. Forgive yourself and others; and
6. Be the change you want to see.

Westwood staff have developed our values considering the context and needs of our school. Westwood is centred upon IDEAS - underpinned by 5 key values.

Innovation → to ensure children are ready for the careers of the future and are able to adapt to new challenges.

Diversity → to ensure children have an appreciation and understanding of an ever changing diverse world.

Experiences → to provide children with memorable and cultural experiences to expand their understanding of the wider world

Ambition → to give our children ambition and tools to better themselves and their community.

Success → to ensure our children know and remember more, and celebrate success in all aspects of their learning and lives.

The vision, values and guiding principles are embodied within our broad and balanced curriculum which is structured to provide our children with high quality education. It ensures that our children are supported to be well-rounded people as well as providing them with experiences and opportunities.

We have three school rules to follow: Ready, Respectful, Safe which underpin all that we do.
