**Westgrove Primary Schools Intention, Vision and Values**
Our intent at Westgrove Primary School is for our students to have the skills needed to participate in society in a meaningful way, which are articulated in our school vision and values. This is important because many of our students need real life skills in order to break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage and take full advantage of what is on offer.
- _ Vision_: _Westgrove Primary School is a safe, inclusive and supportive community that empowers students with the tools to reach their individual potential.
- _ Values_: _At Westgrove Primary School we are a diverse community who value Respect, Inclusion, Learning and Safety. These values underpin our decision making and guide the behaviours of all members of our school community.

**School Strategic Plan (SSP) Goals**
Our current Strategic Plan goals are to **_'maximise the learning growth of every student'_** and **_'strengthen the health and wellbeing of all students'_**. We are working towards these goals by:
- Building staff capacity to utilise data to cater for the needs of all learners and to use a range of high impact teaching strategies.
- Designing and implementing a whole school approach to student voice and agency in classroom learning experiences.
- Refining and embedding the school's instructional models for teaching and learning and the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework.
- Strengthening partnerships between school and the wider community.

**Teaching and Learning**
At Westgrove Primary School our instructional model is based on the Workshop Model, which has the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) embedded within it. Over the last few years, the school has focused significantly on improving outcomes in reading. This encompassed improving teacher understanding and instruction and increased student and community engagement. This narrow focus saw improved results in this area. In the last 18 months our school has pivoted its focus to improving our practice and results in Mathematics, which is being support by the work currently being undertaken within the Wyndham network.
All teaching staff are active participants in high functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLC), which operate in bands across the school. The PLCs support our staff in taking collective responsibility for all students. More recently the PLC focus has been on improving teacher knowledge and trying new practices to improve student learning whilst building teacher capacity in Mathematics and Inclusive Classroom practices.
Our specialist program includes PE, Italian, STEM, Visual Arts and Performing Arts. Additionally, we have an EAL specialist teacher and intervention teacher/s who support those at risk in either English or Mathematics or stretching those students working well above the expected level.
The school also integrates the latest technology as a tool to support learning, including iPads, laptops and a range of STEM resources. Interactive whiteboards and LCD screens are available throughout the learning spaces.
