Networking Community
We know that success is not just about obtaining excellent exam results. Every university and employer want to see that a student has engaged in their field of interest prior to the application stage. At our INSPIRED Westholme Sixth Form, we take every student on this journey from the moment they arrive. Our links with top universities, wide connections with local and national businesses, and continued support from a wide-ranging alumni family network, is available to assist each student.
Social Experiences
All students thoroughly enjoy the social aspects of being a young adult at Westholme and the freedom to follow personal interests and pursuits.
There is something for every student to make the most out of every day. Students enjoy our social facilities, activities, trips, visits, competitions, student-run shop, student news channel, charity events and much more. Our INSPIRED Sixth Form students develop lifelong memories, friends and become part of our alumni family network; once a Westholmian, always a Westholmian!
If you are an OW, then please feel free to join our online Westholme Alumni network below where you can share memories of your time at school, reconnect with old friends and keep up-to-date with the latest alumni news and events:
Personalised 1:1 Support
Every student is welcomed, recognised, and appreciated for their individualism. We provide personalised assistance within every aspect of the INSPIRED Sixth Form journey, so every student maximises their experience and is fully prepared for the next stage of their lives. All students benefit from a custom-made programme to successfully navigate each stage of their INSPIRED Sixth Form journey.
Innovative Leadership Programme
There is a plethora of opportunities to lead, mentor and be role models for younger students; to develop invaluable skills for the 21st century workplace. INSPIRED Sixth Form students play a pivotal part at Westholme and take responsibility for House events, co-curricular activities, sports, charities, clubs, societies, subject mentoring and so much more. Becoming part of the Student Executive and INSPIRED Leadership Team as a Head Student, Prefect or Subject Captain in a formal role allows students the opportunity to develop leadership skills in public speaking, organisation and communication.
Recreational Opportunities
As a top independent School, Westholme is big enough to offer everything that a young adult is looking for but more importantly, small enough that every student gets the opportunity to fully take part. Each year we have students who excel and achieve national recognition in their field, alongside students taking up a new discipline for the very first time.
Entrepreneurial 21st Century Skills
The INSPIRED Westholme Sixth Form offers pioneering opportunities to ensure all students are prepared for the 21st century workplace. 21st century skills such as communication, adaptability and emotional intelligence are woven into the exciting academic curriculum and provision outside of the classroom. Through the Westholme Enterprise Scheme, students develop business skills and hone their entrepreneurial flair by running their own Private Limited Company. INSPIRED Sixth Form also provides the opportunity for students to produce and broadcast news programmes.
Destination Ready!
The INSPIRED Sixth Form is predicated on providing the right balance of holistic education that not only prepares students for their destination but also equips them with skills that will sustain a successful, professional career. The students get the best of both: freedom to develop essential attributes in a fun and relaxed environment whilst benefitting from personalised provision that fully supports their career aspirations.
Our Facilities
Our swimming pool, tennis courts and full-sized astro turf are literally on the doorstep of the PREP building. We have a professional theatre – perfect for drama, public speaking and performing. Our recording studio, photography infinity wall, science laboratories, 3D Computer Aided Design technology and Food Preparation and Nutrition Rooms provides facilities and experiences like no other!
Our new PREP School is fitted with a mono-draught, carbon-neutral ventilation system which reduces CO2 levels all day and provides better air quality for all pupils. This innovation was installed following a study by Harvard University, which found significant declines in cognitive function when CO2 concentrations were increased – which is common in traditional indoor spaces.
