• At West Hill Primary School, we strive to ensure that all children develop skills, knowledge, learning behaviours and core values to become confident lifelong learners and citizens.
• We provide a broad, balanced and challenging curriculum which is accessible to all pupils and enables them to build upon prior skills and knowledge in order to ensure rapid and sustained progress at the school and in preparation for the next stage of their education.
