End of Term Celebration Assembly 2023_24.pdf

End of Term Whole School
Celebration Assembly

The aim of the end of term celebration assembly is to come together as a school community to celebrate pupil achievement, recognition and progress as we look back on this academic year. It is an opportunity to take stock and reflect on just how far we have come individually and as a school body. You may be wondering why we have a picture of a wave on slide 2. You may recall that originally the End of Term assembly was going to be held in the Sports Hall but unfortunately we had a massive flood that disrupted all our plans. This was a major setback, however, we did what Westside does best … we found a way and preserved nonetheless and here we are today! We hope that this serves as a reminder that no matter what life throws at you, there is always a solution to every problem.

Year 11 'GCSE and After' Talk

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Please find an invitation below to the 'Year 11 GCSE and after' talk.

This event aims to provide you with valuable insights into the pathways and opportunities awaiting our students as they progress through their educational journey.

During this session, the Senior Leadership Team will be delivering a talk at Westside, shedding light on the various educational options available for our students. Additionally, representatives from the College will be present at a stall, offering further information and addressing any queries you may have.

This is a wonderful opportunity for both parents and students to explore the options available and gain a comprehensive understanding of the next steps in their educational pursuits. We encourage you to join us and take advantage of this occasion to make well-informed decisions about your future.

Year 9 Options Fair for Year 9 parents & students

Choosing options in Year 9 is a crucial juncture in your child's educational journey. To this end we would like to inform you of the Year 9 Options Programme Road Map leading to year 9 option choices so that you can best support your child. Please find attached a visual road map that outlines key dates and content that will be delivered in the coming weeks. We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the Year 9 Options Fair taking place on Wednesday 6th March at Westside School, 4:00pm. This is an outline of the schedule:

Year 9 Options Fair: Wednesday 6th March 2024

4:00pm Brief Introduction in Main Hall (Lunch Hall)

4:15pm Time at Subject Stalls

5:00pm Final address Main Hall

5:30pm End

This is an invaluable opportunity for you and your child to learn more about what each subject has to offer at Key Stage 4. Please find the Year 9 Options Fair Map below for your perusal.

Year 9 reports will be issued on the 7th March via email. You will then be able to discuss subject specific questions with your child's tutor on the 12th (JKPQ), 13th (RSTU) and 14th (VWXY) March.

In addition, please note that every student has been given a Unifrog log in via their school email. This platform is a fantastic online tool to help your child make an informed decision. Students can complete quizzes (as per the road map) and research topics of interest in the Unifrog Library. They can also access this platform outside of the school day. You can learn more about this if you visit our Student Life > PSHE within our school website. You can also find out specific details about each Key Stage 4 course by going to Our School > Curriculum.

The deadline for choices is Monday 8th April. I hope that this comprehensive programme will serve your child well and we look forward to meeting with you soon during the Options Fair. If you have a general question about this that you would like us to address in our presentation on Wednesday 6th March, please record it below:
