Farsley Westroyd Primary School & Nursery was converted from an Infant School to a Primary School in September 2015. Extensive building work took place across both sites. We now have a purpose built Early Years Site for our Nursery and Reception classes and a Main School Building for our KS1 and KS2 pupils. Each building has its own outside provision, which enables our children to play safely in phase groups. 

Early Years Site 

Our purpose built extensive Early Years site has a nursery classroom and a large reception classroom plus a community room. The community room is used for lunches, as well as a break-out area for children in the early years.  In addition to this, we have an outdoor 'studio' which provides us with additional space. The outside provision wraps around the building and offers different types of play spaces including an astro-turf area, outdoor stage, reading nook, mud kitchen, climbing frames, minibeast area, bike track, physical balancing, climbing trail and nature area. 

Main School Site

Our KS1 classrooms (Years 1 & 2) are located in our main school building. Our Year 1 & 2 children have access to their own outdoor play area, which includes a racetrack, astro-turf, climbing area and playground.  

Our KS2 classrooms (Years 3 to 6) are also located in our main school building. Years 3 & 4 are located off the school hall and Years 5 & 6 have larger classrooms which are situated at the opposite end of the building. KS2 children access their own outside area in phase groups, which includes a climbing wall, exercise area, astro-turf, seating area, planting area and playground.  

The school hall is at the heart of the main school building. It is here that we hold our breakfast and after-school club, assemblies and where our children eat lunch. We also teach indoor PE in this area, with outdoor PE being taught on the astro-turf areas. 

Around school, we have a number of other rooms that we access for teaching and learning. We have a school library for all pupils to use and select books to support their love of reading. We also have a KS1 ASPIRE group room which is to support 1:1 or small group learning as well as providing a space for some of our children to access sensory activities. Our group room facilitates 1:1 or small group sessions led by our pastoral lead or learning support staff. It also has a small kitchen which is used to support cooking in the curriculum. 

Due to the age and location of the school, we do not have a large playing field. However, we do manage to teach all of our PE curriculum on the school site. For some of our whole school events, such as sponsored walks and sports days, we use the local area or hire Farsley Celtic indoor or outdoor areas.
