Welcome to West Calder High School

West Calder High School is a place where every young person is known, supported and inspired to achieve their full potential. We are proud of our strong sense of belonging, where positive relationships between staff, learners and families create a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment for all. Central to our ethos is our commitment to "Uniquely Us, Uniquely You." We celebrate the individuality of every learner while recognising the strength we gain as a community. By valuing each person's talents, interests and aspirations, we create a school where everyone feels respected, included and empowered to succeed. Our work is guided by our core values of Ambition, Equity and Respect, which underpin everything we do. We encourage our learners to aim high, support one another, and treat everyone with fairness and dignity. These values are brought to life each day as we live out our shared motto: "We ARE West Calder."
