About West Town Primary Academy -
West Town Primary Academy is a culturally rich city Academy, with high aspirations for all our children. Since opening as an Academy, West Town Primary has restructured its teaching team to provide smaller class sizes for many of our children, which enables a greater amount of quality first teaching to take place. We are fortunate enough to have a team of good and outstanding teachers who through bespoke in-house training are helping to develop the next generation of teachers in partnership with our Meridian Trust teaching school. We have recently moved into our fabulous new, state of the art, building which has some impressive new learning spaces for the children including dedicated cookery and art rooms, a dance and music studio and two halls. The unique design includes large breakout workspaces which can be used flexibly for whole class or group activities and provide stimulating library and ICT stations. We maximise progress and engagement in learning through adopting and refining learning techniques that work well for our children. There is a high emphasis on talk and questioning to enable children to think and reason deeply about their learning. The academy believes in children achieving well and feeling a sense of success.
