School closed

Westbury Academy is closed today due to transportation issues and taxis following the adverse weather conditions.

We hope to reopen on Monday. Parents and carers will receive a text message from the school office if this is not the case.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Consultation on Expansion of Westbury

Nottingham City council (with the support of the Governing Body) is proposing to increase the size and capacity of Westbury Special School to 120 places. Consultation on these proposals will run from Monday 16 May to Sunday 19 June.

Letters have been sent to parents/carers of pupils, staff, and governors to outline the reasons for the proposal and offer an opportunity to respond to the consultation. There are several ways to respond:

  1. Complete the response form enclosed with the letter and return to the school office
  2. Online completion – log on to www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/westbury
  3. Email the consultation form to Jennifer Hardy: jennifer.hardy [at] nottinghamcity.gov.uk

For further information or copies of the letter sent to parents, please visit the above website or contact the school office.

We Are Writers

Huge congratulations to all the pupils at Westbury who are now published authors!

As part of our Westbury Book Festival back in the Spring term, all our pupils submitted stories, poems and other pieces of writing to be published in our very own book.

Box of books

Mrs Ramage ran a whole-school assembly to introduce the book and Key Stage Leaders read out their favourite stories before giving out the books.Every pupil should now have received a copy of the book to keep.

We gave parents and carers the opportunity to purchase extra copies of the book and we have a few copies left, so if you are interested in having another one, having seen what it looks like, please contact the school office.

Well done to everyone involved.
