From the Westwood Primary School
We would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your family to Westwood Primary School on behalf of the faculty, governors, and students. At Westwood Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that every student receives instruction of the highest calibre, advances academically, and realises their full potential. Grove Primary School collaborates with Westwood Primary School. I split my time between the two schools where I serve as executive headteacher. In my absence, the Deputy Headteachers are in charge of both schools. Other leadership, teaching, and support staff positions are also shared across the two schools. Together, the schools pursue greatness, work tirelessly to develop their institutions, and gain from a common culture and set of procedures. All students are provided with a top-notch education at both institutions. Our goal is to create a nurturing, safe, interesting, and fascinating learning environment. Parents and carers are extremely important to us, and we are eager to collaborate with you.
