Dear Parents

On behalf of the staff and pupils of West Derby School, I would like to welcome you to our website, dedicated to the community of West Derby School. Our school is a Single Academy Trust boys’ school which welcomes girls into the Sixth Form.

West Derby School endeavours to nurture the caring, trusting and strong relationships between pupils, staff and families.

The core aim of our school comes from our tireless pursuit of achieving excellence in all aspects of school life. Our values determine the way in which we pursue that goal, namely through collective cooperation, mutual respect and courtesy.

When our children feel safe, happy and optimistic about their future they are more likely to succeed. Each member of the community of West Derby School plays an important role in creating these foundations for successful lives; personally, academically and professionally.

I am proud to be the Headteacher of West Derby School. Boys come to us from over forty primary schools throughout the city because parents know their son will not only be happy and safe here, but will also achieve his very best.

I hope you find our website helpful and that it conveys our values and ethos. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss any aspect of our work.

Sian Graham

Headteacher
