Westwood Primary School is a one form entry primary school catering for children aged 3 to 11 years old. We have 210 main school places and a 26 place Nursery. The school is located in the seaside town of Lowestoft, a seaside town in Suffolk, close to the border with Norfolk. Our children mostly live in the immediate local community but some do live further away. Westwood Primary School is a happy, family orientated, child focused school, where everyone can recognise and achieve their full potential. Standards of achievement in all areas are rapidly improving. Westwood Primary School is a place of learning, where everyone is successful. It is a place that fosters relationships and acceptance and a place of belonging, where everyone is welcomed, nurtured and safe.

We are committed to making each child’s experience at school unique and making sure that everything we do best meets the needs of our children and our community. Children have access to high quality learning experiences delivered by high quality teachers and support staff through exciting and creative teaching and learning.

We value the support of the local community and believe strong working partnerships strengthen outcomes for children and ensure they continue to enjoy learning throughout their lives. We welcome involvement and feedback and are committed to regular contact and an open, honest dialogue.

Our principle aims are to nurture and care for our children, make learning enjoyable, ensure children achieve their best and prepare them for the next steps in their learning journeys.

Westwood Primary School and The Active Learning Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people. We expect all staff to actively share this commitment. All adults working in our Trust in whatever capacity will be part of a thorough safer recruitment process. All appointments will be subject pre-employment checks including the taking of satisfactory references and enhanced criminal record clearance in line with the need to create and maintain a safe culture.
