Welcome to the website of West Road Primary Academy

West Road Primary is an exciting, happy and vibrant learning community, serving the wonderful community of Moorends – we are all learners. We hope you enjoy looking around our site. If you are inspired, we would love you to come along and see for yourself what we are really like.

At West Road we put children at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every child can achieve amazing things and it is our job to deliver a rich and personalised education, unlocking doors and creating a love of learning, so that every child is empowered and has the opportunity to choose their own future. We provide a nurturing, inspiring environment, maintaining high expectations and challenge in all that we do – enabling each child to develop the resilience, confidence and independence required to succeed.

We were judged as good by Ofsted in June 2018 and we are extremely proud that our children achieve outcomes in reading, writing and maths which are above, often well above, national averages.

 

We are proud to be members of the Brighter Futures Learning Partnership Trust.
