"The Westgate School is a happy and vibrant community,
where pupils are encouraged to aim for excellence"

Parent & PSA Area
Welcome to the our parent area
We are proud of the strong relationship the school has with parents and carers and never take this for granted. As a parent, you can expect to receive timely information about your child's progress whether they are learning in our Nursery, Primary or Secondary Schools.
Throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage parents will receive regular updates on learning – including photographs of key milestones which we look forward to celebrating with you. Similarly, in the Primary and Secondary Schools, regular reports provide detailed information about your child's progress across the curriculum, with information about how their learning can be moved forwards. Primary School and Nursery colleagues are available for informal discussions on a daily basis whilst Secondary School colleagues can easily be reached via email. In the Secondary School, your child will have a tutor and Year Leader responsible for the co-ordination of their care and learning; these colleagues are key points of contact for you.

We are grateful to our Parent Staff Association for their enthusiastic support of our school. Over recent years, their fundraising activities have made a significant contribution to our learning including through the purchase of a high quality grand piano for our Secondary School hall on which many pupils have the pleasure of performing.
The PSA also supports rewards for pupils in school as well as other projects such as the purchase of outdoor seating for pupils. The committee meets regularly with members of school staff to plan key events and agree priorities. Your support would be much appreciated and even if you are not able to commit to joining the PSA, there are regular and enjoyable events at which you would be most welcome including: our Year 7 Family Evening, quiz nights, our staff versus parents cricket match and, the Christmas Fair.
