At Westdene we offer a broad and balanced curriculum. All children are given a wide range of opportunities and experiences and are encouraged to develop the desire to learn.

High standards of teaching and generous ancillary staffing ensure that children make good progress within a caring and supportive environment.

We are concerned with the development of the whole child, not only intellectually, but also physically, aesthetically, socially and emotionally. We want our children to be recognised as individuals, with their own unique insights and strengths.

Therefore we aim to :

• Create a happy, stimulating environment in which to promote the physical, moral and spiritual needs of the individual.
  
  
• Treat all pupils fairly, fostering a positive attitude towards themselves and others without bias of culture, race or gender.
  
  
• Provide opportunities for children to achieve their full potential in literacy, numeracy and all other areas.
  
  
• Develop positive attitudes through which children are encouraged to take an active role in their learning.
  
  
• Encourage children to become both independent and collaborative learners.
  
  
• Help children learn to live together understanding and respecting other people and themselves.
  
  
• Work in partnership with parents and the local community.
