Communications Pathway

Welcome to Our Communication Policy

At Westgate Community School, we believe that effective communication between parents and our staff is crucial for fostering a supportive and collaborative environment. Our communication policy is designed to ensure that all interactions are respectful, transparent, and timely, helping us work together to support the growth and development of our students.
 
In this section, you will find guidelines on how to reach out to teachers, administrators, and support staff, as well as information on the various channels we use to keep you informed about your child's progress and school events. We encourage open dialogue and value your feedback, as it helps us continually improve our services and support.
 
Thank you for being an integral part of our community. We look forward to working with you to create a positive and enriching experience for your child.
