School Description

Pupils excel at Westhaven school. Staff are increasingly aspirational in their expectations of pupils. The school’s redesigned curriculum is well-planned and ambitious. Staff work together diligently to bring it to life and meet pupils’ individual needs. Pupils learn the knowledge and skills they need with increasing success. They are well prepared for their next steps. Positive relationships underpin pupils’ experiences. Pupils rightly say that staff are caring and keep them safe. Staff promote positive behaviour skilfully. Pupils learn to manage their own behaviour successfully over time. They learn and play together harmoniously. This helps to ensure that pupils feel happy and valued. Pupils generally show strong attitudes to their learning. They are particularly focused in subjects where the curriculum is now established. Pupils’ wider development is promoted exceptionally well. They enjoy a wide array of clubs, trips and leadership opportunities that enhance their experience of school. Careers advice and work experience help pupils focus on pathways into adulthood appropriate to their needs and interests. Pupils benefit greatly from the very strong community, underpinned by the principles of the ‘Westhaven Way’.
