Curriculum Information
At St. Philip Westbrook we provide a challenging and exciting curriculum which has been written to meet the needs of all our pupils. We call this the AIM HIGH curriculum.
At St Philip Westbrook, the purpose of our AIM HIGH curriculum is to:
‘Together we aim high and with God’s love we can fly’
We strive to provide the highest standards of education and behaviour, and work together as a whole school community to ensure that children are given the opportunity to develop their God given potential in a secure and supportive environment. Together we foster a love of learning in a happy and safe Christian environment to develop the mind, body and spirit. Christian values are at the heart of our teaching and learning and we encourage all of our children to put these values into practice in every aspect of school life.Progression of knowledge, skills and understanding is planned carefully both within each year group and across year groups in a way that maximises learning opportunities. The progress and attainment of children is systematically tracked across all subjects in school to ensure that children achieve their potential. Children achieve highly across all subjects of the National Curriculum.

You can find information about how the school is complying with its duties in the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 to make the curriculum accessible to pupils with SEND in our SEND Information Report 2023 – 2024
Our most recent OFSTED report from April 2025 states:
The school’s ‘aim high’ curriculum identifies clearly the important knowledge that pupils
should learn and when they should learn it. Activities are purposefully designed to meet
the needs of learners extremely well. This means that pupils develop a deep
understanding of the subjects they study. Pupils, including those with SEND, achieve
exceptionally well. This is demonstrated consistently through the outcomes that pupils
achieve in national tests at the end of key stage 2.
