Westbury House School

Westbury House School is currently positioned as a school that requires improvement, primarily due to shortcomings in leadership, management, and the quality of teaching, particularly in mathematics. The leaders have struggled to effectively monitor pupil progress and have not adequately identified the necessary steps for improvement. While the teaching in English, especially writing, is strong and results in good pupil achievement, there are significant concerns regarding the support and challenge provided in mathematics. Furthermore, some resources available for learning are outdated and not conducive to fostering an inspiring educational environment. Despite these challenges, there are notable strengths within the school. Good behavior and safety standards contribute positively to the learning environment, and pupils generally enjoy their education, often succeeding in securing places at secondary schools of their choice. The early years provision is well managed, with children often exceeding development expectations. As the school works to address its weaknesses, there is potential for marked improvement in pupil outcomes and overall school effectiveness.
