A warm welcome will always await you at Ormskirk West End.  We know that every child who enters our school family is an individual with their own needs, personality and level of development.  Our carefully crafted team of teachers, TAs and our Learning Mentor, have a long standing record of supporting our children to meet their personal best.  It is an absolute privilege to work alongside this team of staff, our wonderful children and supportive parents and families. 

We believe passionately in giving our children the best education available; and we are fortunate to work with Liverpool University to give our children high aspirations and a deeper level of learning.  We take pride in giving our children a range of wonderful additional learning opportunities alongside the National Curriculum.  We also work with STEM ambassadors, Edge Hill University, School Linking as well as providing high quality educational trips which are part funded by the school.  

Our ethos is clear to see when you enter our school: respect for others, ourselves and nature, as well as building resilience in character and never giving up.  We have high aspirations for every child, whatever their needs.  

We are incredibly lucky to have so much open space for our children to explore and play in.  Our Forest School is not only popular with our children, but provides opportunities to experience and understand the natural world.  We have an outdoor gym, trim trail and outdoor staging area in which our children are encouraged to explore.  Our sensory garden tops off a truly beautiful space for our children to enjoy.

We have a dedicated SEND team comprising of myself, Miss Hunt and Miss. McInnes and we work closely to provide meaningful SEND and pastoral support for our children.  We have a newly furbished Nurture Room and a well equipped sensory room in conjunction.  We also work closely with the Child, Family and Wellbeing team to provide additional support for children and families in order to ensure that early help is quickly identified and acted upon.  

Please do take your time to browse through our website to get a flavour of who we are and what we offer.  This doesn't, however, give you the full picture of us as a school. I always say that seeing is believing, so arrange to visit us during a usual school day if possible (it's always valuable to see the school in action) or after school, to get a real experience of Ormskirk West End.

I look forward to welcoming you.
