Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Westgate CP School, a happy, successful and inclusive community where strong relationships are at the heart of everything we do.

Westgate is a special place to learn, where every child is known, valued and supported as an individual. We believe that children thrive when they feel safe, understood and connected to the people around them. Our nurturing environment enables pupils to develop confidence, self-esteem and independence, while celebrating their individual personalities, talents and achievements.

Our relationships are central to school life. We foster positive, respectful and trusting relationships between children and staff, among our staff team, and with parents, carers and the wider community. Our dedicated staff and governors work closely together to create a consistent and caring environment in which children feel secure, motivated and inspired to learn. By knowing our children well and understanding their individual needs, we are able to provide both the challenge and support they need to fulfil their potential.

We are committed to providing a broad and stimulating curriculum that encourages children to become enthusiastic, independent learners. Alongside this, we place great importance on their social and emotional development, helping them to build resilience, self-awareness and confidence and to celebrate their physical, spiritual and creative growth.

We believe that education is a partnership between home and school. Working closely with families enables us to build a strong sense of belonging and ensures that every child is supported to flourish. We are proud of the positive relationships we build with our pupils, families, staff and community, and of the strong sense of care and togetherness that this creates.

We are proud of Westgate CP School and warmly welcome visitors to come and experience our school, meet our community and discover the opportunities we provide for every child.
