Enrichment Activities

Show all activities

There are so many opportunities available to enable girls to broaden their horizons. All Sixth Formers are encouraged to play a part in the wider school community, whether as representatives on the Sixth Form Leadership Team or through participating in one of the many enrichment activities on offer.

Big Sister/Little Sister Mentoring Scheme

Coming to “big” school when you are 11 or to a new school when you are 12 or 13 can be quite daunting. All Lower 6 girls are paired up with one or two Upper 3 and/or new entrants into Lower 4 to provide them with an older friend in school. The Sixth Form Leadership Team oversee the scheme and help you organise joint activities, such as lunchtime games, Christmas parties, bowling trips and Easter egg hunts. There will also be some training sessions with our school counsellor to help you develop your mentoring skills. Often the younger pupils feel more comfortable talking to a Sixth Former and you will have an important role in their school life; some of these friendships last a long time.

Community Service and Work Experience

Community service and work experience provides many benefits, giving you skills that will allow you to stand out to universities and potential employers. At Westfield we will support you in identifying and securing appropriate work experience for your interests, talents and future prospects.

Duke of Edinburgh

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical, cultural and adventurous activities, designed to support the personal and social

Extra-curricular

With a diverse and ever-changing range of clubs and activities on offer you will be sure to find something to suit your interests. Duke of Edinburgh and UNESCO are particularly popular and from sports and politics to musical theatre, we expect all of our Sixth Formers to take part both as members and as leaders. If there is something you think is missing from our extra-curricular offer, we encourage you to set up and run your own club or society.
