About Willowfield Academy

At Westbury Academy our motto is ‘No child left behind.’ We strive to deliver a high-quality curriculum which is based upon the needs of our pupils focusing on maximising each child’s academic potential whilst developing their social and emotional skills.

Our intent is to Prepare every child for Adulthood by developing the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to live with Independence and purpose.

We recognise that many of our pupils have experienced disrupted learning. Therefore, we provide pupils with a curriculum that reconnects them with success.

Through a combination of academic achievement, personal development, and real-life learning experiences, we support pupils to become:

Ready to learn, contribute and take on future challenges

Respectful of others, and able to communicate effectively in different settings

Responsible for their learning, actions, and future

These ‘Three Rs’ (golden rules) are embedded as our golden rules and underpin everything we do.

Our curriculum is shaped by the Trust-wide values; building Confidence, providing Challenge, and promoting Curiosity, Character and Creativity.

We prioritise the development of creative and critical thinking, collaboration, self-awareness, and technological literacy- knowledge, skills and understanding that are increasingly valued by employers and essential in an ever-evolving society (WEF, 2025).

We recognise the importance of access to experiences and opportunities that pupils may otherwise miss. Learning is contextualised to pupils’ local communities and the wider world, building cultural capital, confidence, and Independence needed for life beyond school.

Westbury is a member of the Raleigh Education Trust which was established in Spring 2017 currently comprise of special, primary academies and pupil referral units.
