Our values and ethos are integral to everything we do at the Westleigh School. They have been distilled into the following statement:

Our Values and Ethos

At The Westleigh School, our values and ethos are the foundation upon which we build our community. Our motto, "Aspiring and Achieving Together," is more than just words - it is a guiding principle that shapes everything we do.

 

Ready, Respectful, Safe

We have distilled our values into a simple mantra that all our students can understand and embody: "ready, respectful, and safe." This encapsulates our commitment to ensuring that our school is a place where everyone is prepared to learn, treats each other with kindness and consideration, and feels secure and supported.

 

High Expectations, Close-Knit Community

At The Westleigh School, we have high expectations for all our students, regardless of their background or starting point. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and we work tirelessly to remove the barriers that may stand in their way. At the same time, we foster a close-knit, family-like atmosphere, where every student is known, valued, and cared for.

 

Fulfilling Dreams, Achieving with Might

Our vision is to help our students fulfil their dreams and achieve with all their might. We understand that the communities we serve face significant challenges, but we are committed to empowering our students to overcome these obstacles and reach their full potential. Through a rich and varied curriculum, targeted support, and a relentless focus on progress, we strive to ensure that every child leaves our school equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive.

 

A Shared Responsibility

Realising our vision and upholding our values is a shared responsibility. We work closely with our parents, carers, and the wider community to ensure that our students receive the support and guidance they need to succeed. By working together, we can create a truly inclusive and aspirational environment where every child can flourish.

 

At The Westleigh School, our values and ethos are not just words on a page - they are the beating heart of our community. By staying true to our core principles of readiness, respect, and safety, we are building a school where every child can dream big and achieve with all their might. Join us on this journey as we continue to inspire and support the next generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers.
