Welcome to West Hill School
A Specialist Science College
Our school enjoys a long
standing reputation - one that is a blend of tradition and successful
innovation. Everything about West Hill is stated in our School
Motto - "Aim High" - and every single pupil is included in that simple
phrase.

An Introduction from the Head Teacher
'West Hill is a
thriving school that succeeds in combining high quality academic
education with an outstanding range of opportunities beyond the
classroom.'
'West Hill offers a
wide range of academic provision with many of our boys achieving a full
range of GCSEs and progressing into further education and
apprenticeships.'
'West Hill is just not
about the academic. We foster positive attitudes towards every aspect of
school life encouraging pupils to mature and fulfil their own ambitions
and aspirations. Numerous enrichment opportunities are provided through
the Specialist Science College and we regard involvement in sports, at
whatever standard, as an important part of a pupil's educational
experience, helping develop teaming skills and a sense of fair play.'
'The highly qualified
and dedicated staff ensure life at West Hill is challenging, interesting
but most of all enjoyable. The aim and purpose of our pastoral system is
to provide a happy and safe environment which enables all pupils to take
advantage of their talents and opportunities.'

West Hill has a long standing reputation
within the community. Our community links continue to develop and
strengthen as a result of the work of the Specialist Science College and
the extensive community use of the Sports Hall. We work closely with
parents via parents' consultation evenings, induction evenings and the
Parents' Association.
Aims of
the School
'The primary aim of the governors and the staff, is to provide a happy and
disciplined working environment within which every pupil is encouraged
to achieve his full academic, social, moral, spiritual and physical
potential.
“The school’s ethos helps pupils to raise
their aspirations and develop a determination to achieve them. Pupils’
attitudes and behaviour are a key strength.”
'We value
every individual and are committed to preparing young people for life
beyond school encouraging independence of thought, respect for others,
creativity and a will to succeed. We hope your family will embrace West
Hill's ethos and your son will become part of our success story.'
