"Mixed feelings about the school"

My child loves attending Westgarth Primary, but I've had some concerns about the communication between parents and teachers. The school's facilities are great, and I appreciate the English Hub's focus on phonics and reading. However, I wish the school would be more transparent about events and activities.

"Outstanding education and values"

As a former parent, I can confidently say that Westgarth Primary taught my children the importance of kindness, respect, and resilience. The school's emphasis on these values helped shape their characters and prepare them for life beyond school.
