"Mixed feelings"

I have mixed feelings about Westlands First School. On the one hand, my child enjoys their class and the school's facilities are good. On the other hand, I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and provide clearer communication about what's happening in the classroom.

"A very positive experience"

I have been really pleased with Westlands First School so far. The teachers are all very friendly and approachable, and my child is thriving in their class. I like that the school uses Eduspot for online payments - it makes life a lot easier!

"Excellent teachers and facilities"

My children attended Westlands from Reception to Year 2, and I was consistently impressed with the quality of teaching and the school's facilities. The teachers were always available to discuss my children's progress, and the after-school clubs were a great way to develop their interests.
