School Trips
Summer and Overnight Camps
​
Every year we hold a Summer Camp at The Westgate School for pupils who have just left primary school and who will be joining us in September.
​
The camp provides an ideal opportunity for prospective pupils to meet their tutor group, meet some of their future teachers and familiarise themselves with the school grounds and layout.
​
During the Summer Camp, children take part in a wide range of fun and educational activities including drama, art, cooking, off-site trips and sport. The emphasis is on making learning fun and preparing the new pupils so that they settle more easily into school when they arrive in September.
​
The camp runs from 9 am until 4 pm every day for three days. Pupils may attend an individual day but it is recommended that they attend all three. Pupils can buy a full range of food from one of our catering outlets, The Hub or bring their own packed lunches.
​
Once our pupils have joined us we then run an overnight camp for each House. During this on-site event pupils have a chance to bond even closer with their Tutor group and continue with their experiences of working together and building resilience.
