Our children welcomed a VIP visitor today. Dame Chi Onwurah DBE, MP for Newcastle Central and West, met our KS1 children to talk about Black History Month 2026. Chi explained her story and how Black History Month 2026 invites us to recognise people that shape, support and strengthen our communities all over Britain. Thank you to Chi for making time within her busy schedule - we were all thrilled to host our MP at Westgate Hill!

Congratulations to our award winners over the last week. These children have shown hard work in class and positive relationships with friends, meaning these wonderous winners are great role models for everyone. 1NP and 2NC were the attendance winners this week too, both with over 98% attendance. Fabulous work everyone!
