West Calder High School was opened in 1965 to take up to 750 pupils from the Calders Area of West Lothian, Scotland, which includes East Calder, Mid Calder, West Calder and Polbeth. The enrollment of pupils in the school was around 900 pupils in 2011.
They are building a new school (which will be the 4th ever WCHS building), due to open June 2018 between West Calder and Polbeth (where it is currently located).
In March 2016 inspectors from Education Scotland visited the school to carry out an inspection. This highlighted strengths and areas for improvement and identified that the school needed additional support to improve. A follow up visit was made by Education Scotland in June 2017 highlighting improvements made.
