The Curriculum
At Westfield Primary Academy, we offer a curriculum that is ambitious and is designed to teach and enrich the knowledge and cultural capital of all pupils.
We deliver a broad and literacy rich curriculum underpinned by the principles of spaced retrieval practice to support the deep and embedded learning of knowledge, skills and vocabulary.

English is taught through our CUSP curriculum a comprehensive reading and writing programme designed by Unity Schools Partnership and we follow a Maths Mastery approach to teaching mathematics.
