Parents and Carers
Parents and carers play a cruicial role in the progress and achievements of Westminster Academy students. As such, we encourage parents and carers to engage with the Academy as much as possible.
The first point of contact for all parents and carers is their child's personal tutors. The Academy holds Progress Review Days, Parents' Evenings and Results Evenings, and provides termly reports to ensure parents and carers are kept up to date and can involve themseves in their child's learning. The weekly newsletter will also inform families of important notifications and events.
