What’s on at West OS 17th – 21st April

Inspection Update

Dear Parent/Carer,

I wanted to let you know how proud we were of our pupils last week during our inspection. The inspection team commented on how well-behaved, respectful and confident our young people were. They were in classes speaking to lots of pupils and many pupils were also involved in focus groups. They were a credit to you and to the school.

I would also like to thank the many parents and carers who took time to complete evaluations and attend focus groups to share their experiences of the school with the inspection team. It was great to see so many of our parents involved and the feedback you have given has been very useful.

The inspection team will now complete their report. This will need to be verified before it is published which will take some weeks. It will identify key strengths of the school and areas for us to focus on improving moving forward. Parents will have the opportunity to meet with me to discuss this once it is published.

Thank you for your continuing support. Parent and carers play a crucial role in the life of our school and I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.

Yours faithfully,

TRACEY MCDERMOTT
Head Teacher

S2 options evening 2023

On Thursday 2nd March 2023 we hosted an “in-person” S2 options evening for parents, carers and pupils.  The event allowed us to share our vision of having a more inclusive and creative curriculum that better meets the needs of all.  A big thank you to all the staff who turned out in force and creating wonderful displays and chatted enthusiastically with families about the subjects on offer in Braidhurst.

If you were unable to attend the event, please click below to view a copy of the presentation.
