As part of Westlands Specialist Schools status we have made commitments to help in both the local community and more importantly with our local primary schools. We meet regularly - about once a term to discuss possible ways of working together.

Computers for Beginners

Laptop Trolley

Our mobile laptop trolley travels round local Primaries throughout the academic year. This trolley has 16 laptops, wireless printing and four sets of Lego RoboLab sets. The trolley stays with the Primary school for around 3 week periods being moved to the next school with the help of Coombe Pafford Schools transport. The laptop trolley rota is published on the Information section of our web site as well as being emailed to all partners.

Industry Days

This day involves year 6 students from local primary schools coming to Westlands for the whole day, working with some of our year 7 students. They are split into smaller mixed groups. Students then work together to design, produce and package a Snowman/Clown mobile or bake cakes, each group member being allocated a particular area of responsibility, decided on as a team. They also have to put together a short presentation, in which all members of the team take part. The winning team receive prizes presented by the Headteacher.
