We like to work closely with parents/carers, and we recognise it is important that you choose a school where you feel confident your child will be cared for, valued and, most importantly, will be happy. Your child will then be ready to learn.

Staff and governors are proud of this school, and we recommend that prospective parents/carers visit us during the school day so you can see for yourself what an exciting, happy place it is!

Our Vision

At Westfield Infant School our school community value themselves and each other. We create inclusive and nurturing learning environments where all children thrive. Children are encouraged and challenged to achieve their very best in all aspects of their learning, becoming responsible and independent. Reading is a priority, as the ability to read and understand unlocks a world of imagination, creativity and new, powerful knowledge. Strong relationships are built between children and staff to enable our learners to feel happy, safe and secure.

We hold high expectations of all, including personal and social behaviours and positive behaviours for learning. Our SEND and wellbeing team ensure that children and families are supported to overcome any possible barriers to learning and development.

Our core values are at the heart of all learning experiences. As the children grow and develop throughout their infant years, they become responsible, resilient and respectful both academically and personally.

Our Values

• Resilience - We keep trying, especially when something is difficult. We don’t mind if we make a mistake and we like a challenge.
• Respect - We treat others the way we would like to be treated. We always show good manners and we are honest and tell the truth.
• Responsibility - We show that we can do things for ourselves, and not always rely on others to do things for us. We try to make the right choices about how we learn and behave.
• Relationships - We are friendly and welcome others to join in. We listen to others and consider their thoughts and feelings. We work together.
• Recognition - We celebrate everybody’s achievements and efforts so that we feel good about ourselves and others.
