Thank you for taking the time to look at our website. Denton West End is a large two form entry primary school catering for children from three to eleven years on the outskirts of Tameside. We are very proud of our school. We have high standards in everything we do; we work hard to achieve our vision Only our best is good enough .
This applies to all people connected to our school. We expect our children to achieve their potential through working hard and having a positive approach to their learning. Our children are very well behaved, polite and welcoming. We know this because visitors tell us! Having a smile is very important to us!
We work hard to promote our core values of caring, being positive, having confidence and working together to help each other. Children are given responsibility during their time in school. They help to make decisions about lunches, our school rules and house point system and the charity we choose to support each year.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
