A Warm Welcome

West Hatch is a special place. We work hard together to achieve success in everything we do. Teachers at West Hatch set high standards. They have high expectations of their students and give dedication and commitment in return. Ours is a happy, caring and high-achieving school. The school’s reputation is based on its continuing ability to produce self-confident, articulate and ambitious young people.

We are a forward thinking Business and Enterprise specialist school which, nonetheless retains its belief in the importance of traditional values. We were also awarded a second specialist status in Humanities in 2006. We encourage academic excellence and insist on high standards of behaviour and appearance.

We offer pupils a stimulating and wide-ranging curriculum which will develop the skills and aptitudes they will need in their adult lives. To be successful citizens in the 21st century children need to learn with determination, be able to acquire new skills and build strong moral values. We depend upon a close and effective partnership with parents to achieve these aims. I am proud to lead a school which gives children so many opportunities for success.
