Welcome to Westgate Primary School

At Westgate we celebrate every child’s achievements and nurture their love of learning. We strive to ensure that our children experience success in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, helping them to understand that they can make a positive difference to the world and encouraging them to have high hopes and ambitions for themselves and others.

Our Approach

Through our rich curriculum, children aim high, solving problems by standing on the shoulders of great thinkers who have gone before. Our curriculum enables children to become self-motivated, creative, independent citizens who confidently express themselves and are well-prepared for life in the modern world.

Our ethos celebrates and embraces the different backgrounds, heritage, languages and traditions of all children living in our community and beyond. Respect for self and respect for others underpins all aspects of school life.

Our Core Values

• Respect – We show consideration and thoughtfulness for everyone and our environment.
• Independence – We can think and work on our own.
• Collaboration – We show co-operation and work as a team.
• Kindness – We look for ways to make someone smile.
• Equality – We value everyone and treat them the same.
• Excellence – We aim high and persevere.
• Resilience – We have a ‘can do’ attitude and never give up.
