To delve deeper into the Stone, Iron and Bronze Ages, Year 3 pupils enjoyed travelling back through 10,000 years of human history to discover ancient life at Butser Ancient Farm open air museum this week. #Butserancientfarm #historytopic

A generous donation of £5,000 to Westgate PSA from Winchester-based property developer Gentian, has brought fresh energy to the school's sports equipment with the purchase of new basketball hoops, football goal posts and new balls for both sports.  Aiden Murray, Planning Director, Gentian, and The Westgate School Head Boy Laurence H tried out the new basketball hoops and goalposts.   Thanking Gentian for their support, Charlie Damant, Chair of the PSA, told them the new equipment "has transformed our break and lunchtimes" as the old ones were in need of an upgrade.  "We would like to thank Gentian for their generous sponsorship.  We are very lucky." The Westgate PSA fundraises to support projects to advance the education and support the well-being of pupils all-through the school.   #Gentiangroup #westgatepsa #workingtogether

Pupils have been paying tribute to those who lost their lives serving their country. Assemblies across the whole school have focused on the 'why' behind our remembrance and its importance. Westgate Head Boy and Head Girl laid a wreath at Winchester Cathedral as part of the remembrance day service on Sunday and trumpeters played the Last Post at the start of our whole school two minutes' silence this morning. #RemembranceDay #lestweforget #togetherweremember
