Working together with our amazing team of specialist Learning Support Assistants, last Monday saw the presentation of certificates to recognise their resilience and continued efforts in striving to improve It's paying off! Great work, boys!! #nationalyearofreading2026 #GoAllIn

This week is National Apprenticeship Week and, during assemblies, students of all year groups have been learning what an apprenticeship is, why they're a great option, how to get on one, and why they're never too young to start building up a bank of 'soft skills' - alongside achieving good GCSE grades - by joining in with co-curricular clubs, being on time for school, and volunteering to take part Further information can be found below: https://vimeo.com/1132491454?fl=pl&fe=cm And test your apprenticeship knowledge here: https://www.amazingapprenticeships.com/resources/the-apprenticeship-quiz-2026/

Our Year 10 geographers had a fantastic day yesterday exploring climate and disaster-related exhibits at the @mcrmuseum, deepening their understanding of environmental change and global hazards. The afternoon took them to @manmetuni, where students attended an inspiring talk from Dr Kathryn Adamson. She spoke about climate change, her research in the Arctic, and the wide range of career pathways that Geography can lead to. A brilliant opportunity for our students to see Geography in action beyond the classroom!

Our amazing canteen have recognised National Pizza Day and the Chinese New Year this week, but how about recognising every Friday with a build your own breakfast? Our boys have spoken and we've listened so, as part of a trial, our canteen now serves a selection of breakfast products. Create a plate of your three favourite items for £1.45. Available tomorrow and each Friday until further notice. If it catches on, it could be here to stay, with extra days added too.

Last Thursday, the much-anticipated year 8 inter-form darts final took place Thirty-five students put themselves forward to take part in what turned out to be a fantastic display of sportsmanship and camaraderie! Over many lunchtimes, spectators and competitors crammed into the 'Sports Hall-y Pally' classroom to watch the knockout tournament. After much healthy competition, the event was finally whittled down to two students to battle it out to be the best of five rounds to 301. Today, during year 8 assembly, our winner and runner-up were presented with a set of @lukethenukelittler darts, and also a darts board for our winner! Congratulations to all of our potential future darts stars for stepping up and challenging themselves, and a huge well done to our year 8 students for showing amazing support towards their peers

We're supporting Children's Mental Health Week. 'Place' isn't just about location. 'Place' doesn't just mean a building or a room. It can mean: where you feel accepted where you can be yourself where you know who to go to if things are difficult Form Tutors, Head of Years, our School Counsellor, any member of staff, or students from the Cabinet for Mental Health and Wellbeing are always available if our boys need some support with their mental health Lots more support and information can also be found on our school website at: https://www.westhillschool.co.uk/wellbeing

Headteacher's Recognition Reward - Huge congratulations to this week's boys who gained the top achievement points in their year group last week Their assessment of last week and, in particular Friday's Off Timetable Day... "interesting and fun", that they "like it when school change it up a bit and break the routine", and that the heavy day of walking talking mocks were "alright, to be fair" - high praise indeed from our Year 11! Our year 8 winner was already taken up in a second reward gathering today that he and selected other year 8s had banked for their excellent conduct throughout the year, but looking forward; the rest of the HRR boys plan to relax on holiday , get stuck into revision, and even climb mountains during their well-earned half-term break
