Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils love learning at Westbury Park School. The rich curriculum enables them to excel academically and thrive socially and emotionally. Pupils develop very high aspirations to succeed.
Through the expertly designed provision, pupils develop their character very well. They learn the importance of citizenship through helping others as peer mentors and well-being champions. Pupils learn impressive leadership skills through a range of roles and responsibilities which they value deeply. Older pupils, for instance, support younger pupils to develop their reading skills. Pupils develop a strong understanding of the role of democracy and individual liberty in British society, through class discussions and voting for the school council. Children in Reception are very knowledgeable about these concepts. For example, they value diversity and can recognise the impact of discrimination.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's vision for pupils to be exceptionally well prepared for the world beyond school is shared by all staff. Through the very well-designed curriculum, pupils build on their prior knowledge in all subject areas. This enables them to learn more complex concepts with success and confidence. Pupils have many opportunities to discuss their ideas in depth. They articulate their thinking with maturity and a breadth of sophisticated vocabulary. This enables and supports them to craft their writing with knowledge and impressive skill. For example, pupils in Year 6 debated opposing views about the role of zoos in conservation work in preparation for writing a balanced argument about a different topic. Children in Reception discuss their imaginative interpretations of the world to help them 'write' their ideas. Through the curriculum, pupils and children in Reception independently apply what they have learned to unfamiliar problems very well. Consequently, pupils at both key stage 1 and key stage 2 consistently achieve highly in reading, writing and mathematics.
