Westbury School is a locally maintained special school providing education for pupils who experience emotional, behavioural and social difficulties.
Pupils at Westbury are admitted to the school following completion of a Statementing Process and with agreement that placement at the school is appropriate for their needs.
Pupils are aged between 7 and 16 and, whilst the school has currently only got boys on roll, the school is designated as a mixed school. There are places for 50 pupils on roll.
Pupils experience the full range of the National Curriculum between key stage 2, 3 and 4 with additional vocational education courses being offered at key stage 4. The school has developed a strong ethos around the achievement agenda, and over the last three years, the school has demonstrated year on year improvements at the end of year assessments(2 and 3) and has seen all key stage 4 pupils leave with GCSE and BTEC pass grade which reflect their abilities.
The school has been subject to a review of its performance by the LEA during the spring term 2011 and the summery report, recently received by the school, has noted significant positive aspects across the full range of criteria usually associated with OfSTED inspections. In March 20011 Ofsted carried out an inspection of Westbury school and concluded that 'Westbury is a good school with some outstanding features'.
Places at Westbury are at a premium within this and other authorities and there is often a waiting list for pupils requiring full-time educational provision.
There has been significant financial investment in the school financially over the last two years. Curriculum resources are of a high quality and support the extensive curriculum development that has taken place during this period. The buildings are of a high standard, well maintained and provide an outstanding learning environment. There has been the recent addition of a learning support unit and meeting room to the school site. The school has recently purchased individual laptops for all key stage 3 and 4 pupils which we believe further enhance the curriculum and learning opportunities for all our pupils. This level of investment clearly demonstrates the Local Authority's commitment to the ongoing development of the school.
