Please contact the school office for more information and to make an appointment to look at our unique setting.

 At Westerhope Primary School we believe that all our children are special and unique.

We are all evaluating our achievements and looking for ways in which we can move forward in our learning.

We give all our children the opportunity to fulfil their potential and reach for the stars through learning.
