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".

Apprentice Signed at Westmorland

Pupils at Westmorland School have been taking part in their own version of The Apprentice.
Cumberland School Head Teacher, Martin Hayhurst, was specially invited to visit Westmorland School to play the role taken by Sir Alan Sugar in the television series.
Sue Asher is Head Teacher at Westmorland School, she said: “We decided to host our own version of the hit TV show as we held a similar event based on Dragons’ Den last year which the pupils responded really positively to. All classes were given the challenge to design a circus and have spent the last few weeks putting together a television advert, a radio advert and jingle with Chorley FM to go alongside their final presentation.”
Martin Hayhurst said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the day and was extremely impressed by all the presentations that the children prepared.”
“It was a shame that I couldn’t hire all the teams involved as so much time and energy had clearly gone into each pitch.”
