Values and vision

The Westbridge Primary School vision is to transform pupils’ lives and help them reach their full potential. Creating the whole person is also a particular focus. Teachers aim to develop the social and personal life skills of each student, as well as encouraging them to succeed academically. 

Westbridge prides itself on being a diverse community, with more than 14 nationalities and 18 languages providing a rich cultural heritage for the school. It  follows the Chapel Street values of grace, love and fellowship, in order to create inclusive communities for children to study in. Chapel Street was founded on the belief that places of education can benefit not just students but also their families and communities.
