Mrs. O. Dauda
Educational Director/ Head Of SchoolI am happy to welcome you to The WestPrime School. The school was founded and is sustained with my dream to establish a school to prepare the CHILD for Life. To prepare the child for life means that the school must be equally and proportionally based on the four cardinal pillars of the child’s growth and developmental needs: physical, social, emotional, and the intellectual/academic; the school’s teachers and staff must be proud to enrol their children; learning and teaching programmes and activities must be adequately resourced; and the school must provide a conducive and enabling environment for the child to grow, to learn, and to flourish in the ever-changing and competitive global village. Trained and groomed with over 20 years of teacher education, qualifications, skills and experiences both in Nigeria and in the UK, I established The WestPrime School in 1996 with a focused mission, vision and commission to preparing the CHILD for Life. The WestPrime School has grown from Early Years’ (Toddler/Nursery) and Primary to a Secondary school. The WestPrime School is now relocated on an accessible serene acre of prime land at the Commercial Jericho GRA, Ibadan. How do we prepare the child for life?
1.Teacher's Recruitment Training: Because no nation can rise above the quality of its teachers, we carefully recruit our teachers and continually train and retrain them;
2.Weekly Scheme Implementation of the National Education Curriculum: We translate the recommended thematic National Education Curriculum, especially literacy, numeracy and science and computer science into comprehensive, practical and interactive weekly schemes;
3. Child-centred All-round Teaching and Learning Activities: The WestPrimers are being well-grounded in values of integrity, hard-work, respect for self and others, sharing, love and service. Beyond the academic/intellectual rigor to pass examination and acquire certificates, we engage the Child on a number of activities to bring out and develop their potential. For example, each class works on a Literary Project termly. They constitute a group to present a well-researched topic to the whole school and parents. The process helps the Child to develop their stage presentation skills of writing lyrics, singing, dancing and drama. Other activities include: Read-a-Book-a-Week Library Scheme; annual production of the school Magazine; Creative and Performing Art; and purposeful sports and athletics;
4.Educational Clubs: To prepare the Child for career and employment afterschool, we focus on skill acquisition with problem solving, team work, and clubbing activities. The Club activities aim at making teaching and learning a reality. We engage students in practical activities by putting theory into practice. The Clubs are: Maths, Science, Music, Football, Swimming, Creative and Performing Art Club, Reading and Writers’ Club and the Press Club. The Press Club promotes the Child’s awareness of their community and current affairs. They gather news Online and elsewhere, e.g., school news, throughout the week with the help of the Computer Science teacher and present at every Friday morning assembly to the rest of the children.
5. The Childs Citizenship and Community Rights, Duties and Responsibilities: Religious and citizenship education promotes the Child’s sense of duty and responsibility. We engage the Child in educational excursions and field trips to local markets, water works, public and private businesses, historic national and local monuments, e.g., Olumo Rocks and Bower Tower. The School Assemblies are designed to inculcate development of values and personal development to becoming reliable and responsible members of their family, school, nation and community.
Why not ask about us from our ex-students, ex-parents and ex-teachers and staff?
The ex-students and their parents and families are the living testimonies to our commitment and vision of Preparing the CHILD for Life. The WestPrimers are winning awards and prizes, and gaining admission to the best colleges and universities at home and abroad. The ex-WestPrimers are proud of their alma matter. “I really disliked Fridays and holidays as they meant, no going to school …” affirmed Adewunmi Adebusuyi, who graduated in 2005, in the School’s Magazine, vol. 4, 2013, p.55.
“I cannot think of another school other than my alma mater to register my daughter”, says Iyeyinka Omigbodun, the School Head Girl in 2005. I am happy to say that my grandchildren have always had a good time at The WestPrime School. The WestPrime School continues to be the first choice of school for generations of pupils, teachers and families. I trust that our Website, our Prospectus and The Handbook for Parents will provide you with all the basic facts and evidence of what makes The WestPrime the right school for your CHILD.
Proudly, I welcome you to book a guided tour of our school and experience with us the special journey we share with our students each day.
