Culture Capital
At Ormskirk West End we want to give our pupils the best experiences and opportunities to make sure they have high aspirations for themselves. We want our children to be the best version of themselves that they can be. We believe aspiration begins from being tiny Acorns until they leave us as mighty Oaks and from there, wherever their pathway leads them!
Oak visited Ormskirk School to watch their incredible performance of The Addams Family. It was wonderful seeing past pupils involved in the show! Some budding actors of the future. #aspiration
Two of our Mighty Oaks have joined a Maths Reasoning Club with local schools- the first session was a real challenge that got our brains ticking! Well done girls. #resilience #aspiration
FAB Book Awards 2024
Archeological Dig! Maple learnt the discipline of archeological skills by excavating an area of our school grounds, carefully dusting and cleaning it and working like a historian to ascertain what the artefact was, what time period and who we thought last used it!
Gawthorpe Hall! Our KS2 children enhanced their learning of Shakespeare by visiting Gawthorpe Hall where they learnt a range of skills and about the life of Shakespeare himself!
Young Voices 2024! What an amazing day - our choir showed real resilience as part of the largest choir in the world!
We work with the Anthony Walker Foundation to explain about respect and tolerance.
The Air Ambulance came to see us!
Continuing on with our relationship with Daresbury Laboratory, Oak learnt all about the James Webb telescope and even tried solving of the problems that the scientists and engineers had getting it into space!
Maple took part in a science workshop (Factory of the Future) in which they were learning about science, technology and engineering. The children had to interact digitally in the workshop by choosing a range of different materials to build, insulate and create an energy based system to design a carbon zero factory of the future. Children worked with an iPad in small groups to choose a range of materials to create a fully functioning engineering plant with the aim of becoming the engineers of the future.
We enjoy Equine Therapy at Parbold Equestrian.
Oak had the fantastic opportunity to work with Eton Boys College for a session about rationing in WW2. #aspiration
Throughout the year, Maple have worked alongside St Stephen's Primary School, Preston as part of the School Linking Project. This project is vital for promoting diversity and respect. As part of the project, Maple have: met with St Stephen's at Burnley Youth Theatre, had several Zoom calls to play games with their new friends and we also visited their school in May.
As part of our visit to their school, we were taken to visit the Hindu Temple and learn all about Hindu gods. It was spectacular and we were very lucky to be part of such a fantastic project. We hope to continue this next year...
