School Newsletter
Published on 11/07/25
Good afternoon,
It’s hard to believe, but next week marks the final week of term! As we head into these last few days, there’s a real sense of celebration and excitement across the school. We have a packed schedule of events planned to mark the end of another fantastic year and opportunities to come together as a school community.
It would have been Elemie Wainwright’s birthday this week – we send our love to all our community and especially to her family and friends.
This week we celebrated Year 11 at our school prom. I was so proud of our students as they arrived in their wonderful dresses and suits. I was equally proud of their behaviour and how much they enjoyed being together. Many of them thanked us for our support and were appreciative of staff who supervised the event. I look forward to seeing you all on GCSE results’ day on Thursday 21st August 2025.
We look forward to celebrating the achievements of our pupils and making some lasting memories before we break up for the summer. A reminder that our final day is Friday 18th July 2025 – more information about the start of the year next week.

End of Year Trips & Sports Day
We are looking forward to the trips and sports day on Monday 14th July and Tuesday 15th July next week. The weather forecast is showing that our heat wave will continue into next week. I know you will have thought of this but just in case - please make sure that your child has what they need to cope with the heat: water, sunscreen and a hat. We will adjust the activities for sports day to take account of the heat. Our expectations of behaviour continue outside of school, and we need everyone to be ready to listen to instructions, meet at the right time and take care of each other. Please discuss this with your children so that they understand the importance of being safe. For those children staying in school, we have planned the day and are looking forward to them being here with us. Full details of the arrangements for the day have been emailed to parents/carers.
Health & Wellbeing Summer Programme
‘Door 43’ are offering a week of free, creative and confidence boosting workshops for young people aged 13-17. There will be opportunities to try something new, connect with others and explore ways to practice self-care, all in a safe and welcoming space.
Staff from the counselling and employability teams will also be available each day to offer support, guidance and signposting to their services.

Funded Holiday Clubs for Children in Receipt of Benefits-Related Free School Meals
This initiative offers free holiday club places for children who are in receipt of benefits-related free school meals.

New Westfield School Website to be Launched
We are pleased to announce that, during the summer holiday, we will be launching the new Westfield School website. When it is launched, the website will still be available at www.westfield.chorustrust.org and will provide up-to-date information, organised in a simplified structure to make it easier to find the information you are looking for.
The new site will continue to contain the information most valued by parents and carers, including term dates and calendar items as well as curriculum and extracurricular information. If, when you first visit the site, you find that it isn’t displaying correctly, this is a common issue with new websites and clearing the cache (CTRL + F5 or CMD, SHIFT + R on a Mac) on your device should rectify the situation.
We hope you enjoy exploring the new site!

Year 8 Visit to the National Videogame Museum
Some of our Year 8 students went on a day trip to the national videogame museum in Sheffield on Monday. Students spent some time getting some hands-on experience with games consoles from as early as the 1970’s, before spending an hour in a pixel art workshop where they learned about how videogame characters are designed, and they created their own animated drawings. A big thank you from the computing and business faculty to all the students, they were brilliant representatives of Westfield school, and we had lots of positive feedback from staff at the venue.
