Thank you

Westcliff

Primary Academy is a one form entry academy, with a nursery (which caters for

children from 2 to 4 years of age). We are situated in Bispham, in the north of

Blackpool.

At

Westcliff, we strive to provide the very best education. We develop the “Whole

Child”. We want our pupils to leave

school with excellent subject knowledge and skills in addition to being

outstanding members of our community. Nurturing our future citizens of

tomorrow, ensuring that they are respectful, caring and empathetic, determined

to achieve! We teach our children that their safety is paramount and equip them

with the life skills that they need to prepare for life in the wider world.

At Westcliff Primary Academy, our

expectations are high. We work together

with parents to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils; our children typically

achieve above national averages in all key stages, making at least expected

progress. All of our talented, nurturing staff are highly skilled and take part

in continuous professional development including trauma informed approaches.

This allows us to ensure that we are implementing the best possible practice.

We have achieved ELKLAN’s “Communication Friendly” Status. We take pride in our

Beach School status and are the only school in Blackpool to have achieved this.

Our bespoke Beach School lessons compliment our creative curriculum. We hold

the Music Mark and Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) and we are incredibly

proud of our Anti-Bullying Silver Mark award. We offer a diverse and inclusive

curriculum where difference is celebrated; in recognition of this, we have been

awarded the Rainbow Flag award. We also recognise the importance of physical

activity and the health benefits surrounding this. We promote both physical and

mental well-being and have an excellent sports provision, winning the Blackpool

Active Lives Primary School of the Year at the Community Awards 2023 and

repeatedly achieving the School Games Gold Award. Our children especially enjoy

OPAL - outdoor play and learning - at break times.
