🥉🎾Tennis Champions🎾🥉

We are incredibly proud of two of our pupils who competed in the Kent Primary Schools Doubles Tennis Finals on Friday. The girls achieved an impressive third place finish, winning 4 of their matches and narrowly missing out on a place in the final. Their determination, teamwork and resilience were outstanding throughout the competition, and their beaming wide smiles say it all!

What an incredible achievement and a fantastic showcase of ambition — they truly represented our school with pride! Watch out for these Wimbledon stars of the future! Well done girls! 🙌🏼🎉

💚😊Parent Learning Showcase😊💚

Thank you to all the parents who joined us for our recent Learning Showcase this Friday. It was wonderful to see so many of you in school and sharing in your children’s learning. Our classrooms were filled with happy faces and proud smiles.

We were especially pleased to welcome a large number of our Year 6 parents. It won’t be long now until our Year 6 pupils begin their next journey, and as we approach the end of the year, these opportunities to celebrate all their hard work and achievements feel even more special. Your support makes such a difference and it was lovely to see the pride on everyone’s faces. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. Have a lovely weekend 😎

🌍⚽World Cup Wellbeing Challenge⚽🌍

The World Cup is an exciting time for children. Whether they're cheering on their favourite team, celebrating goals or coping with disappointment when results don't go their way, football can bring some very big emotions!

To help children make the most of the tournament, we have created and shared a World Cup Wellbeing Challenge packed with fun football-themed activities that encourage resilience, gratitude, kindness and positive thinking. The children should have come home with their challenges this week. We hope you enjoy watching the World Cup and taking part in the wellbeing challenges😊Come on England! 🤞🏼

🖼️ ⭐ Art Gallery Winners ⭐ 🖼️

Five of our Westgate pupils have had their artwork selected for display in a special community exhibition and today they were invited to the official opening at Stephen Oliver’s Gallery in the Orchards Shopping Centre.

The exhibition, organised to raise funds for the local charity We Are Beams, invited children from primary schools across the area to create original pieces inspired by characters from their favourite books. A selection of standout artworks was chosen for public display — and we are incredibly proud that five of our pupils’ creations made it into the gallery. Their artwork will now be part of an online auction, with all proceeds going directly to We Are Beams, supporting their invaluable work with children and young people with disabilities.

A huge well done to our talented young artists for their creativity, effort and enthusiasm. What a wonderful way to use art to support our community ☺️🧑🏽‍🎨

👏🏻🎾Two Tennis Superstars Make Kent Final🎾👏🏻

A huge congratulations to two of our Westgate pupils who competed in the Kent Primary Schools Annual Doubles Qualifying Event this week and powered their way into the final.

Despite a last minute change in team players, the girls proved exactly what dedication and teamwork can achieve - putting in the practice, supporting one another and collaborating brilliantly even when the competition was tough.

We are incredibly proud of their resilience and the way they represented Westgate. What a fantastic achievement! We wish them the best of luck next week in the finals 🙌🏼🤞Go Team Westgate!

🥇🤸 Olympic Gymnast Visits Westgate 🤸🥇

Adding to our fantastic morning of sport, we were incredibly lucky to be joined by gold Olympic medallist Courtney Tulloch this afternoon, who challenged each class to take part in a sponsored fitness circuit.

After the activities, Courtney further inspired the children by sharing his journey into gymnastics, the dedication and hard work it took to succeed and the importance of never giving up. He even brought his gold medals along and allowed the children to hold and wear them. To top it all off, he treated everyone to an impressive demonstration of his backflipping skills! 🤩 Check out the video in the comments!

It was a truly memorable experience and a wonderful opportunity for the children to be inspired by such a talented athlete. Well done to all the children who collected sponsors and took part today! 🙌🏼

🏃 🥎 👏🏻 Super Sports Day 👏🏻 🥎 🏃🏻‍♂️

What a fantastic Sports Day we had today! The field was filled with energy, colour and excitement from start to finish and we were so pleased that the weather was kind to us this morning ☺️ The sun was shining with a welcome gentle breeze too!

All of the children took part in the events with such enthusiasm and determination. It was wonderful to see such positive attitudes, with the children cheering one another on and giving every event their very best effort. Thank you to all our parents, carers and visitors who came along to support the children — seeing their faces light up when they spotted familiar faces made the day even more special.

We are incredibly proud of all the children for their effort, teamwork and sportsmanship - such SUPERSTARS!
What a great first day back at school too! 🌟

🏃🥎 Sports Day is Tomorrow 🥎🏃

Good evening to our Westgate Family. We hope you have all had a wonderful half term break. Just a reminder that it is our Sports Day tomorrow - Monday 1st June. All year groups will take part from Year R to Year 6. Children will need to wear their PE kit with a hat and bring a water bottle. If the weather is sunny, please apply sun cream before school.

Parents are encouraged to come along (and, of course, participate in our parent race - get your trainers ready!) Gates will open at 9:15am. What a great way to start the new term!

🎉 History Day Magic 🎉

On Tuesday our school was bursting with colour, character and ‘centuries of style’ as the children arrived dressed in incredible outfits from across the ages for our History Day.

From royal monarchs, to fierce Romans and artistic Mayans, every costume showed such amazing effort — thank you to all our families for helping bring history to life. The day was packed with action: the children didn’t just learn history - they lived it. What a memorable celebration of history! 😃

🍃💚 Visiting our Nature Garden 💚🍃

Last Friday, every class took time to slow down, step outside and enjoy our beautiful new Nature Garden as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. This year’s theme was Action and spending time outdoors together was a simple but powerful way for our children to take practical steps to support their wellbeing.

Being outside isn’t just refreshing - it’s essential for our mental health. The children reflected on how nature helps them feel grounded, peaceful and connected. Mrs Chidgey and our Eco Team have really worked hard to develop the area and now our children can use this space as a tool whenever they need a moment of calm.

Look out for more photographs of this space over Summer term. 😊🌱🪴
