Final Thoughts from INSPIRED Sixth Former, Caitlin Slater
Coming to the end of the second week after returning to school, there is definitely excitement around with students and staff enjoying being back after the summer break. Everyone is settling back into Westholme way of life with chatter and laughter, filling the corridors once again.
Welcome to Westholme

What a Wonderful A-‘fayre’!

Westholme Association
Welcome back and we hope you have had a restful break from school runs, pick ups and generally taxi-ing. Some of you will have seen myself, Neil and other WA members at the Prep School ‘Meet The Teacher’ event on Wednesday and are more aware of what we do. We hope to meet many more of you at future events like the Year 7 ‘Welcome to Westholme’ evening and the Open Evening in October.
Year 6
It has been absolutely wonderful to welcome Year 6 back into the classroom. It has been a delight to watch the pupils welcome new members of the school family into their class and there has been a real sense of belonging and teamwork already show in the class.
