Westgate Hill has now become a 'School of Sanctuary.' Mrs Johnson, Mrs Worthington and some of our wonderful KS2 children attended an awards ceremony at the Great North Museum last week to receive our certificate. The children had a special scavenger hunt, made their own badges and talked about what it means to be a School of Sanctuary. We are so proud to be a School of Sanctuary - this means that we are committed to being a safe and welcoming place for all. We promote a welcoming culture and a place of safety to those seeking refuge.
