Welcome to West End School

 

Hello, and welcome to our school Website

 

We hope that you will find our website easy to use. The site's main aim is to provide information for both parents and children. Our website is a window on the school so please take a look at our gallery pages to see our most recent events. 

 

Our most recently updated page is our school's history. West End has been serving the local community since 1914 and Mr. Brown, the previous headteacher has written a short passage about the history of the school.

 

We've created a new email account for parents to sign up to if they wish to receive newsletters electronically. If you would like this to happen please send an email to newsletters@westendcps.lancs.sch.uk - In the message subject please write your child's name so we can keep track of who has signed up.

 

So that parents can be contacted in case of emergency (such as a whole school closure) we have set up an account with a messaging service. This will enable school to send messages to parents en-mass if, for example: we had to close for some reason (e.g. heating issues/weather conditions/other emergency) or we have to cancel an event (such as sports day).

 

To sign up for this service we need one mobile telephone number per family to be registered for the service. (This will help us keep costs down!)

 

To register, please send a SMS text message to: 60777 starting the message with WRWAY followed by your child’s surname  (For example, the text message would read as – WRWAY Bloggs).

 

Please keep checking back soon on the site for more developments and news.

A message from the headteacher,  Miss Aspinall

 

We are very proud of our school, which has been here in one form or another since 1914!  Needless to say there have been several changes since – including our wonderful PE hall built in 2006.

 

It seems very strange to think that when this school was built it was on top of a hill, with no houses around it whatsoever!

 

As a school we have a very good academic record.  This is due in no small part to the very hard work and dedication of the school staff here.  They care deeply about the children and strive to ensure they always deliver the best lessons they can so that the children can achieve highly  - and enjoy themselves.

 

However hard the staff work though, we could not do it without the help and support of our parents.  They back the school all the way, listening to their children read, helping them to learn their spellings and tables – and supporting all the fund-raising activities we do.

 

We hope you will find this website a useful tool.  You'll find policies, newsletters, holiday lists – and all the other information needed to aid your very busy lives - juggling school, social calendars (probably the children’s and not yours!), football practice, dance classes. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions

Thank you!
