Westbourne is housed in bright modern buildings. The school has benefited from a building programme that has won praise for its imaginative design. It is a friendly, caring, family community striving for excellence - committed to achievement and sharing in the success of each individual. The aim of the school is to help children develop lively, enquiring minds and a love of learning, together with a sense of self-respect and respect for others.

Inside the school the classrooms are carpeted and there are special areas for science, mathematics and English and for practical activities such as technology, art, craft, cookery and music. Since 1999 we have opened a new library and two computer centres, fully equipped with our own networked computer system. Over £50,000 was raised by the parents and friends of the school to pay for this facility. In addition to the computer centres, each classroom has at least one networked personal computer that may be used by all the children, even the very youngest, as well as excellent resources for teaching all the subjects of the curriculum.

There are very good facilities for P.E., games and gymnastics. Inside the school there is already a well equipped multi-purpose hall and 2001 saw the opening of our new sports hall. Outside there are attractively landscaped play and garden areas which include a netball and tennis court, two generous football pitches and a developing environmental area. For the younger children there is an outdoor adventure playground with slides and climbing frames set on a special safety surface.

As an Outstanding school, Westbourne converted to a stand alone Primary Academy on 1/6/2011. The children at Westbourne are justifiably proud of their school that offers every opportunity for children to achieve the highest standards.

The learning programme at the school covers the first two Key Stages of the National Curriculum. Children take part in Standard Assessment Tests and Tasks, often called SATs, during Year 2 and Year 6.
