About us

Westbury Laverton Infants School was originally built by the Laverton family who owned the cloth mills in Westbury. It moved from Bratton Road when the present building was opened in 1971. The name of the school was changed in 1992 to Westbury County Infants, and in 1999, when it became a community school, to Westbury Infants. Our school logo shows the Angel Mill so that we remember the connection with the Laverton family.

The main building houses six teaching areas. The original open-plan design has been modified and each pair of classrooms now shares an extra carpeted area which can be used for a variety of purposes.

The school has a library which is fully stocked with fiction, non fiction and poetry sections. There are author collections and many Big Books which are used throughout the school in the formal teaching of reading. All children have access to the library. We have an air-conditioned ICT suite of fifteen computers and an interactive whiteboard for whole-class demonstrations.

The school has a Specialist Learning Centre for children with complex needs. This is staffed by one teacher and three teaching assistants.

At present we have a double mobile classroom which houses two further classes. There is a large hall which is used for PE; music, dance and drama; as a dining room; and for assemblies and events including the Christmas plays.
