Our mission statement says that at West Twyford Primary School ‘children come first’ – and they do! Our team of staff is committed to ensuring that this is true. We work hard to ensure that children are safe, happy and receiving an excellent education both in academic areas and in encouraging the personal growth that enhances and complements academic progress. The school is characterised by care, courtesy and respect.

We encourage our children to grow to participate positively and with enjoyment in a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society. We try to help them understand that all can make valuable and unique contributions to the world that they live in and later on will work in. We understand education to be a partnership between home and school with valued input from the governors and the wider community.

We feel that we strike a good balance between embracing new technologies and preserving valuable traditions that have developed within the school over the past decades. We have annual traditions such as the pancake races, sports and fun day and conker competitions with children participating as members of houses that foster team spirit.   We are a listening school and have a house council through which the children's ideas and suggestions are heard and considered by staff.
