News:Fond farewell to Mrs Moss The last day of term was a special day to mark the occasion of Mrs Moss's retirement. A lunch with many invited guests was followed by an extra special assembly in which all of the pupils were able to say their goodbyes through song and dance. After the children had left there was also a buffet for staff and many invited guests. During the day many tributes were paid to Mrs Moss's hard work and dedication - it was easy to see from the emotion behind these that she will be greatly missed. Mrs Moss has been Head of Westhaven for 10 years, and in this time has brought in many changes which have created greater opportunities for pupils as well as improving the learning environment of the school. We would all like to say a big thank you for all she has done, and wish her a long and happy retirement. Also, Mrs Moss being who she is, we know we also need to wish her good luck in any new ventures!
Sports day The fact that the 2010 sports day had to be held indoors due to the uncertain weather did not stop everyone from having a great time. Congratulations to Tyntesfield, this year's winners of the Sue Slade Shield. Many thanks to all the parents and carers who attended - it wouldn't be a sports day without you!
Art Exhibition a great success
Special guest David Amos (Education
Improvement Adviser) officially opened our first Art Exhibition last
week.
The exhibition was open during school hours for the week, so
that visitors could drop in and see the pupils' fabulous work.
House visits On Thursday 8th July all the pupils went to visit their respective National Trust houses; Barrington Court, Montacute House and Tyntesfield. We are very grateful to the National Trust staff and volunteers who made sure the visits were interesting and enjoyable to all.
First work experience for Year 10's In June Year 10 successfully completed their first two-week work experience at a variety of placements in the local area.

Fantastic results for Westhaven!We recently received the results for our last group of year 11 pupils from the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and once again they are outstanding! After school clubsDue to the popularity of after school clubs last year, there are more running this year: All below are 3pm to 4pm (except for photography) - parents/carers to make own arrangements to pick up at 4pm. Monday Gardening ICT - years 7 & 8 advanced level only (with Mr Midgley) Tuesday Football (with Bristol City coaches) Photography GCSE (with Mrs Cantello) - year 10 only, 3 - 4.30pm Table tennis (local league coaches) Wednesday Pool (with Mr Orr) Dance (with Mrs Jory) Table tennis (local league coaches) Friday Cycling (sorry, all places taken for next term.

There is no charge for attending any of the clubs.
Morning traffic arrangements Since the beginning of term 1 we have been piloting a new system for vehicles. Between 8.20am and 8.45am no vehicles, apart from staff and essential car users, are allowed on to the school site. All pupils are to be dropped off outside the school gates where a member of staff will be to ensure their safe passage into school. This is part of our Travel Plan to ensure the safety of pupils and to ease congestion at the beginning of the school day. We greatly appreciate your cooperation with this.
