Hello, and thank you for visiting our website. My name is Sarah Currie, and it has been my privilege to be part of the Ormskirk West End family since 2017—first as Deputy Head Teacher, and now as Head Teacher.

At Ormskirk West End, we are proud to be a close-knit, passionate team of educators, teaching assistants, and support staff who are dedicated to helping every child thrive. Our team brings a wealth of experience, energy, and a deep commitment to making a meaningful difference in each child’s life.

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll find a warm, inclusive environment where every child is recognised as a unique individual. We understand that each learner comes with their own strengths, needs, and personality—and we are here to nurture them every step of the way. Our dedicated staff, including our Learning Mentor, work collaboratively to ensure that every child is supported in reaching their personal best.

We believe wholeheartedly in delivering the highest quality education and expanding children’s horizons through enriching experiences.

Our exciting partnerships—with Liverpool University, Edge Hill University, STEM Ambassadors, and Liverpool Empire —provide pupils with exceptional opportunities to explore, grow, and aim high.

Alongside a strong National Curriculum, we offer a wide variety of additional learning experiences, including school-funded educational visits and hands-on activities designed to inspire a love of learning.

Our school values—Aspiration, Resilience, and Respect—are at the heart of everything we do. These principles are woven through our curriculum, our pastoral care, and our daily interactions. They shape the character of our pupils and empower them to navigate life with confidence and kindness.

We are especially fortunate to have extensive outdoor spaces that provide wonderful learning and play opportunities. Our children benefit from a dedicated Forest School, an outdoor gym, trim trail, performance staging area, and a peaceful sensory garden—each space thoughtfully designed to support exploration, creativity, and wellbeing.

In addition, we are proud to offer a strong network of SEND and pastoral support. Our dedicated team—Mrs McLaughlin, myself  and Miss McInnes—work closely to deliver meaningful, tailored support for children with additional needs.

Our newly refurbished Nurture Room and fully equipped Sensory Room provide safe and stimulating environments, and we work in close partnership with the Child, Family and Wellbeing team to ensure timely and effective support for families.

I warmly encourage you to explore our website to get a sense of what makes Ormskirk West End such a special place. That said, nothing compares to experiencing our school in action. We would be delighted to welcome you for a visit—during the school day or after school—so you can truly see the vibrancy of our community for yourself.

I look forward to meeting you.

Warmest regards,
Sarah Currie
Head Teacher
