Head of Schools Welcome

Dear Families,

I am delighted to welcome you to Westwood College, where respect, resilience, ambition, and pride are at the heart of everything we do. Our College educates students aged 13 to 18, offering a continuous and supportive journey from Year 9 through to our thriving joint Sixth Form with Leek High School. Set within the beautiful grounds of Westwood Hall, a Grade II listed Jacobean-style building constructed in the mid-19th century, our site has a rich history. Originally a 17th-century manor house and later a girls’ school from 1921, it became the mixed comprehensive school it is today in 1980. This heritage provides a unique and inspiring environment for learning and personal growth. As Head of School, I am excited to be working closely with Miss Sue Atkinson, Executive Headteacher of Westwood College and Leek High School, to ensure that our shared commitment to high standards and student success offers every student the opportunity to excel academically and personally.
