Welcome to the West Bridgford School.
As Headteacher, my role is to maintain a safe, caring community that provides challenge and support for all our learners – allowing them to enjoy learning and go on to reach their full potential, whatever that might be.
We have high expectations of ourselves, and of our students – of excellent teaching and learning, a culture of aiming high and the desire that we all exemplify our Core Values of Kindness, Respect and Determination.
We are KIND – because it is the right thing to do – because we also expect others to be kind to us
We are RESPECTFUL – we respect ourselves, we respect our friends, we respect the staff at school and we respect our environment
We are DETERMINED – we do our best and don’t give up
…and those things go together to help us all to be THE BEST WE CAN BE
Safeguarding is at the heart of our work in school; we believe that students who feel safe and secure are able to thrive and achieve. We are a very caring school and pride ourselves on having a strong and highly competent pastoral team. Each year group is led by a teacher in the post of Year Director, supported by a non-teaching Pastoral Assistant who are always on hand to support the students in our care.
We are very proud of our school – and of the students, parents and staff who make it so successful.
Important Update for all Parents
Thursday 15th May
14:30
We have run into further problems with our IT systems; returning to normal will take longer than previously predicted.
Students in Years 7-10 are bringing home a paper letter this afternoon which explains the situation more, but reassures parents that school can and will continue as normal.
You can access a copy of the letter on the website - see link below
Year 11 all have a Science exam tomorrow morning. We can now offer 3 options for students between exams
1 Attend timetabled lessons with a subject teacher (as originally planned)
2 Use the quiet study space
3 Work at home
