Westmorland School is a primary school for up to 32 boys and girls with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and associated learning needs. We aim to equip children with the skills to succeed, building their self-esteem and confidence. We help children to learn more effectively by using a variety of teaching and learning styles and promoting independent learning.

"I feel my son has improved in all aspects since starting at Westmorland; emotionally, psychologically and educationally. I now have back the child I knew at age 5, who was happy, lively, inquisitive, confident and alive. I can't thank you enough for bringing this back when I thought it was gone forever".

About Westmorland School

 

Westmorland School provides high standards of support and care to all children. Our day is structured to ensure everyone’s safety is of paramount importance.

We use the holistic behavioural management approaches of ‘TEAM TEACH’ which ensures that all staff are fully trained to de-escalate difficult situations safely.

We believe in the importance of developing the ‘whole child’, with consistent focus, for example, on self-esteem, anger management and emotional literacy.

Our proven rewards system engages children, assisting the development of positive behaviours. These behaviours enable our children to integrate

Message from the Head Teacher

 
Westmorland Head

I feel very privileged to be Head Teacher of such a creative, innovative learning environment where children are given the opportunities to successfully engage in their education. This is an exciting time where standards are being raised daily and our reputation goes from strength to strength.

Our school vision is;

‘We learn to live together, together we live to learn’

Our strong and dedicated staff team consistently support children in developing their behavioural, emotional and social skills, which consequently assists their positive access to the whole curriculum. The personalised learning programmes and therapeutic services ensure that every child experiences success.

Thank-you for taking the time to visit our website, I am sure you will find it both interesting and informative. Can I request, however, that this web-site visit does not replace a visit to us in person as this is the only way to experience for your-self the warm, stimulating and caring environment I am lucky enough to experience daily.

Mrs S Asher, Head Teacher
