I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of Westbrook Old Hall Primary School and especially of the fact that we are a family, who works together, cares for each other and supports each other.

We consider our school to be a very special place to be – a place of learning that’s calm and friendly; a place where every child is fully supported to achieve success academically, emotionally and socially. Our children are encouraged to be polite, motivated and happy individuals and this is promoted via an ambitious, challenging and fun curriculum.

At Westbrook, the children are at the centre of everything we do, and our excellent, dedicated teaching team continuously strive to ensure that each and every child achieves their goals, so that by the time they leave us for high school they are fully prepared for the next stage in their learning journey.

As parents and carers, we recognise the crucial role you play in your child’s learning and we aim to work in partnership with you, making sure that your child receives the best learning experience possible.

If you are considering applying to Westbrook, please feel free to have a look through our website; watch the school tour and hear more about us from members of staff. Alternatively, contact the school office to arrange a tour and to gain a greater understanding of what makes Westbrook such a wonderful place to be.

Headteacher

Westbrook Old Hall Primary School opened in February 1982. It caters for children between the ages of 4+ and 11+. The school has an annual admission limit of 60 children and there are currently 369 on roll.

The school is a bright, modern building with 14 classrooms, two multi-purpose halls, a library, administrative block, a multi-use play/sports area, an enclosed field, two playgrounds, a covered play area outside our Early Years classrooms for all-weather use and two community rooms. All classrooms have interactive computer whiteboards. We have also invested heavily in laptops and iPads for all phases. We have extensive outdoor fixed play/adventure equipment suitable for all children from ages 4 to 11. The Governors are always looking at ways to improve the physical environment of the school.

The school is set in the most pleasant surroundings, adjacent to Sankey Valley Park but is also conveniently situated within easy access of the main motorway networks to Liverpool and Manchester.

Importantly, the school recognises the need to ensure the security of our pupils. Consequently, access is restricted via one main door with remote locking, video facilities, CCTV and monitoring systems.
