Thriving to achieve our best-together!
At West Moors Middle, we strive to provide a secure, friendly and happy learning environment for all our children. As a small two-form entry, village middle school, we currently have 233 pupils on roll with our vision for all children to achieve their full potential and thrive to be the best that they can be- together. All that we do stems from this inclusive ethos, including our core values: Care, Aspire, Achieve and Respect.
The school is a caring, respectful community, supported by an energetic and committed staff. This, together with our hard working Governors, Parents’ Teachers Friends Association (PTFA), and parent and carer volunteers ensures that the children are always the focus of school life and are valued both as individuals and as part of our whole school family.
Our school is focused on promoting the children’s academic, physical and spiritual development, inspiring them to aim high in all areas of schooling and personal development, and in doing so lay down good foundations for their continued progress in life. We coach children to be resilient in all situations and challenges and, in our broad and balanced curriculum, actively seek ways to for them to explore and nurture their creativity.
We hope this website gives you an insight into what makes West Moors Middle special. We pride ourselves on being dynamic and forward thinking, and if you would like to visit or find out more information, we would be delighted to meet you and show you our school in more detail.

📐✨ In Year 7 Maths this week, we explored cube numbers in a hands-on way!
Students used multilink cubes to build and arrange shapes into rectangles and squares, helping us check our understanding of cube numbers. 🧮
We then took it a step further and worked out how many different cubes could be created from a set number of blocks. Lots of great problem-solving and teamwork! 💡👏

🌲 Forest School Weekly Update 🌲
What a wonderful day the children had outdoors! The rain kindly waited until the very end, giving everyone time to explore, play, and work together.
This week’s focus was teamwork, and what better way to celebrate than by building and managing our very own fire safely. 🔥 The children showed amazing cooperation and care, and of course, we couldn’t resist toasting marshmallows and making s’mores! 😋✨
Here’s to more adventures, laughter, and learning in the woods! 🌳💚

Year 6 shining in Art and Reading! 🎨📚
This week, Year 6 had great fun exploring mono printing, creating amazing one-of-a-kind artworks using chalk pastel and a bit of creative magic! The results were fantastic and everyone worked so hard.
They also showed brilliant focus during independent reading, it is so lovely to see their enthusiasm for books! 🌟
