About our school…

Westpark School was created from an amalgamation of Westerton School and Byron Park School in 2008. Westpark School is situated on the site of the former Westerton School, which was built in 1953. Extensive renovation was undertaken prior to the amalgamation and the school is well provided with accommodation to meet modern educational needs including a new nursery built within the existing building.

There are 9 classrooms, a nurture space known as the Belonging Beehive, space for targeted supports, a main hall and a gym hall. There is a well equipped library and we are well resourced to support the curriculum. All learners make regular use of our local environment.

Westpark School pupil’s invention wins national award

The #DigiInventors Challenge is organised by the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) as its flagship schools’ competition. It is delivered in collaboration with leading partners across Scotland in education, innovation, entrepreneurship, and healthcare.

The competition aims to inspire young people to develop creative, technology-based solutions to real-world challenges, with a particular focus on improving health and care outcomes.

School vision, values and aims

Our mission statement, 'We can do hard things', reflects our aspiration that all learners, from Nursery to P7, will develop the resilience and the necessary learning skills to successfully navigate life's challenges and meet their full potential. This will be achieved through the highest quality teaching and learning experiences and an ethos that nurtures a love of learning as well as a strong sense of respect for the self and others. We will ensure all learners embrace opportunities for success in all areas of their lives. The aims of kindness, belonging, mastery and independence permeate all that we do.
