The Westgate School

do not send your kid here it’s honestly the worst thing i’ve experienced in my life

Worst school ever , a friend of mine got called a twat by a food tech teacher and she said yeah that’s what you are and I’ll call you worse or something along the lines of that, what kind of tecaher says that to a child? I have no idea what the school keeps people like that woman employed because they sure don’t deserve it , what are they even teaching? They’re not there to teach they’re just miserable and sad and take it out on children because that’s the only people who “ can’t disrespect them back” it’s pathetic and sad

Since September 2023, the school has been under new leadership with an authoritarian approach. Unfortunately, this has led to a significant exodus of teachers. Excessive micromanagement, relentless lesson observations, and rigid expectations have created a stressful and demoralising work environment. Teachers have little autonomy in how they deliver lessons and minimal input in decision-making or the overall running of the school. There is no sign that leadership are drastically changing their approach to staff treatment, so the continuing retention crisis is likely to escalate further by the end of this academic year.

just don't send your child here staff and hygine are horribly bad and the rules are so unbalanced that breathing air feels like a gambel

This is the best school i have ever went to, i started this school in 2020 and left in 2024, i wish i never even left this school, i never appreciated this school enough until i moved school and realised that this was an amazing school, if any of you are thinking of going here, you should! I hope my 2 most favourite teachers see this Mrs Komarewics and Ms Foley, Your Amazing From: OlayemiOlowosusi

.Overpriced food .Horrible people .2 many incidents .Bad at resolving bullying I had to use my fist twice to get him to shut up and it worked. Horrible place go somewhere else.

the teachers can be so rude to students thinking that there smart. for free school meals you can now only get certain things, when this happens students probably starve themselves. i go to this school and i personally dont like it. if someone is bulling a student then they say 'if it carries on they will have a sanction' i dont believe that because that happened to me and it hardly got dealt with and it still goes on today!!

They do nothing for bullying my sister got bullied for 4 years straight and did nothing about until my parents said that they will call OFSTED about them they only care about their reputation and not what goes on in their school

This school is horrible DO NOT COME

Good school, my son goes there. Not as good as when my nephew attended there over 10 years ago but the facilities are modern, unfortunately the good teaching staff have left and the senior management aren’t very professional as the hardcore oldies that came before them. A French teacher named Marianne Goffard was more interested in selling her artwork to students than teach French. I attended a parents evening and she was showing all the parents her Oval glass or marble works that hang on walls than to talk about my sons rather poor performance with languages.

I hate this school. The level of bullying and discussion that happens is horrific. I’m a trans student and the amount of isolation i put up with is appalling.

The education is decent I guess. Canteen is horrible. Most of the staff are horrible. Pastoral are horrible do nothing for your problems. They out LGBT kids and do nothing for LGBT issues. don't do much for bulling. Expect you to give them respect when they give you none. better than some schools . Do better Westgate

The Westgate school is not a place to go to for the next five years if you care about your mental health. They expect you all to act the same and behave the same and I can confidently say there were only 3 teachers who honestly cared. Some of the teachers were rude whilst others were just out of order. Food is okay but hygiene is terrible. Unless you are perfect the school will ruin your mental health to the point where you just stop going. DO NOT GO TO THE WESTGATE SCHOOL!!1

As a school it’s okay. Most teachers truly love their job and try their best to help the students. I think that a few of the newer staff are not so good though. The canteen is POOR with a very rude chef who when challenged about poor hygiene shouts down students. The food is terrible too , it’s needs to change.

As a former student, I would say this school has its ups and downs. The food/canteen was poor with rude staff working there. When ever the chef was challenged about poor hygiene he would shout down the student and refuse refund. The teachers push you to do your best but some seem not to care and are just in it for the salary and holiday. The sports facilities are good but some parts of the school are run down and could do with maintenance.
