Student Leadership
Student leadership is a crucial aspect of your child's journey at The Westgate School and we would urge all students to embrace these excellent opportunities. Take a look at the document at the bottom of the page to discover the opportunities we have for you!
The Head Student Leadership Team
Our team comprises of two Head Students and five Deputies, they are an amazing and diverse team of students who are committed to being positive role models across the school, help staff and organise events. We hope that their presence will inspire the younger year groups to aspire for greatness.
The Student Leadership Team : Year 7-11
Our student leadership team, spanning all year groups, will collaborate with the Senior Leadership Team on the school development plan to bring about positive change and be a voice for the rest of their Year Group and school.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Ambassadors
We have two 'Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Ambassadors' for each Year Group to represent the school and dedicate time to organise events and promote equality, diversity and inclusion across the school curriculum and to all staff and students here at Westgate.
Student Receptionists
As part of our drive to increase student leadership opportunities across the school and equip our students for life, we have introduced a new and exciting initiative for all our Year 8 students. They get the opportunity to spend at least one school day acting as a Student Receptionist. The role requires students to act as a responsible member of the school community, supporting both students and staff throughout the school day.
Examples of things may do are: distributing letters, greeting visitors, admin tasks, performing lesson checks and many more productive things.
Duke of Edinburgh Participants
Here are the amazing students who have chosen to participate in the DofE program, looking to develop new skills and explore new horizons, these students have been taking part in various adventures on their path of self discovery.
Open Evening Ambassadors
We wanted to recognise the extraordinary commitment of our passionate student volunteers who generously invested their time to help out at our schools open evenings. Some students were given the task of guiding prospective students and parents through enlightening tours of our school, captivating subject showcases, and insightful conversations about the unique Westgate experience.
