Nottingham Schools Trust

In 2017 a group of Nottingham schools joined forces to establish the Nottingham Schools Trust – a collaborative partnership focusing on improving education for the children of Nottingham.

Parents of Westglade (POW)

We are really fortunate to have the support of a great group of parents who work with school to make Westglade even better.

They organise events, raise money for the school and improve the environment.

The group meet regularly in the community room first thing every Friday morning, after the children begin school. Our fantastic parent support worker, Mrs Radmall, is also available at this time. If you would like to get involved and have a coffee with other parents we would be delighted to see you.
