Westwood House

Mr E Wood - Head of House Miss A Jenkins - Guidance Manager

Another great term for Westwood House in the run up to Christmas. The students have responded extremely
well to the reshuffle of the tutor groups and we can now focus on GCSEs for Key Stage 4 and prepare Key Stage
3 for the start of their GCSEs.
Once again a massive thank you to parents and carers of Westwood students as we are still above our target for
attendance for the year so far. We are also the best house at Heritage up to press for attendance. We could not
have this achievement without your support and the students commitment and we are extremely appreciative
of this. If the students are not here, then it is hard for them to achieve so it is fantastic to see Westwood
students making so much effort to be in school in spite of all the coughs and colds that are around at the
minute.
Westwood is still paving the way for sports success in
the latest Inter-House competition. We recently won
the first round of boys’ basketball against Redgrave,
so well done to the lads for that. And we could not
do these events without the support of our recently
appointed sports ambassadors, Eve Bennett and Ethan
Marsh. Congratulations to them both on their new
appointment.
It was delightful to see
our Reading Ambassador,
Lucas Crapper, giving
up his time to work with
younger students to
support them with their
reading. Well done to
Lucas for his commitment
to supporting others.

I was fortunate once again to represent the
school at the Clowne Remembrance Day service
along with Westwood students and Head Boy
and Head Girl, Jack Smith and Jessica Nash. They
were both a credit to the school and I could
not have been more proud of them and their
commitment even forgoing a football match to
attend such a worthwhile event.

And finally, it was wonderful to see the class of 2015 at the recent GCSE awards evening. A huge
congratulations to Chloe Twigg for winning the “Donna Chawner Award” for overcoming adversity to achieve
and also to Trafford Baxter and Charley Eden for winning the Westwood Guidance Manager Award.
So, once again, Westwood House has much to celebrate.
We look forward to a new year and we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

This term sees a return of a modern classic Mallett’s Mallet. Many parents will have fond memories of the
Timmy Mallet children’s show in the mid eighties. The game remains the same as the classic game s
