why choose west walker primary school

A school that knows every child, and helps every child succeed.

We recognise the diversity of experience and learning each child brings through the door, and build on it from day one, so every child leaves us a confident, curious lifelong learner.

Our five values
Belonging, Ambition, Respect, Resilience and Creativity guide how we learn, play and look after each other.
Read Write Inc phonics
Daily phonics from Reception, built on strong early talk and a love of stories.
Proud of where we live
Our curriculum builds pride in Walker's history, including its shipbuilding heritage.
Good standards maintained
Ofsted confirmed in June 2025 that West Walker continues to maintain the good standards from its previous inspection.
Funded Early Years places
15 or 30 funded hours a week for eligible 2, 3 and 4-year-olds, with a termly Nursery intake.
Every child included
Children from many backgrounds learn together here, and we spot extra needs early so the right support is in place.
W.E.S.T
Relationships come first.
Children take part in relational circles across the week, a regular time to talk, listen and get to know each other. It's part of how we help every child feel they belong, every day, from their very first year with us.

Mrs Kerry Marshall, Early Years Lead, West Walker Primary School

“In the early years, children learn by talking, playing and exploring together. We get to know every child well, so we can build on what they already know and help them take their next steps with confidence.”

Our vision
Our vision is W.E.S.T: Where Everyone Succeeds Together. Our curriculum helps children become healthy advocates, aspirational citizens and effective communicators. In our Early Years, that starts with talk, play and strong relationships, so every child feels they belong and is ready for each next step.
