Welcome from Daniel Gee, Headteacher

Hello and welcome to our website.  We hope that it reflects the exciting and vibrant opportunities there are here for the children and young people of West Cumbria.  We are a specialist provision that works with a variety of agencies to support children and young people who require additional support with their social, emotional and health needs.  We also provides outreach support and in-centre specialist counselling.

Our aim is ‘to ensure all pupils leave WCLC equipped with the appropriate knowledge, skills, qualifications and resilience to enter the next phase of their educational life’.  We do this by providing a range of tailored support that helps them to achieve their unique potential, both academically and socially.

We are very proud of our Centre and all of our children and young people and the achievements they make both whilst they are with us and when they move on to the next stage of their educational life.

We are particularly proud of the positive attitude and ethos adopted by all of us at West Cumbria Learning Centre, which is often commented on by visitors.

I hope this has given you a snapshot of what is on offer at West Cumbria Learning Centre, please get in touch with us if you would like to know more.

Daniel Gee

There are two flames burning in the human heart all the time. The flame of anger against injustice, and the flame of hope you can build a better world.

OFSTED June 16-17

Ofsted is inspecting your child’s school, and we would like to know what you think about the school. Your views about the school are important to us. If you are a parent or carer of a registered pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted’s online survey, Ofsted Parent View, at:

https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk

Ofsted Parent View asks for your opinion on some aspects of your child’s school, including the progress made by your child, and the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The information you provide via Ofsted Parent View will be treated in confidence. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child’s school.

To submit your views, you will need to register for Ofsted Parent View via the above link. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide your email address, which will be held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.

Please complete the online survey as soon as possible, preferably by 11am on the first day of the inspection, as this will give the inspection team more time to consider your views. However, we will consider all online responses that are completed during the inspection, although the free-text box facility will not be available after noon on the final on-site day of the inspection.
