It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our fantastic school. We are incredibly proud of our extraordinary staff, the school's integral role in the local community and every child who calls Werneth their home. As a team, we are committed to making sure that your child makes excellent progress, no matter their starting point.
Education is part of the foundation of their future success. We want our children to build a love of learning and understand all about the opportunities available to them. We are fortunate to be supported in our aims by being a part of the Pinnacle Learning Trust, alongside Hathershaw College and Oldham Sixth Form College.
By joining the Werneth Primar School family, your child will benefit from being a part of a truly aspirational group of schools.
