Testimonials
- Westgate has been an amazing school for our children! The staff teach them brilliantly, offer great experiences and best of all, they really care!
- The staff go above and beyond for the children within the school community and ensure every child is seen and heard no matter what.
- The teachers really saw my daughter for who she is, took the time to listen, and helped her grow in confidence. Their care and encouragement made all the difference. She’s now a happy, engaged learner and we couldn’t be prouder of the young person she’s become. We’re so grateful to the whole team for the role they’ve played in her journey.
- The staff at Westgate really changed how my daughter viewed school and helped to reduce her anxiety and helped her to become the best version of herself. She now doesn't want to leave Westgate! I can't thank some of the teachers enough for the time, effort & physical & emotional support they have put in to help my daughter get on the right path...thank you.
- I have had two children attend Westgate and both have done extremely well. Both children have very different personalities, one shy and one very outgoing and Westgate has supported both children. Teachers are very helpful and the facilities and extra sporting activities are excellent.
- I have had three children in Westgate School over the last 14 years. Now my last one is leaving Year 6 in July. I am strongly recommending Westgate School to other parents. My oldest son is starting university in October and my second son is at 6th Form. Both of them told me that they have strong mathematics fundamentals that have helped them.
- We love Westgate. The Head Teacher knowing all the pupils makes it feel extra special!
- The staff are kind, understanding and aspirational. The children clearly enjoy their time at school and benefit from an inclusive, nurturing environment that seeks to empower them to be the best they can be.
- Amazing school run by amazing staff!
