CEIAG
CEIAG is to provide students with the opportunity to engage in a range of activities that will contribute to their knowledge and understanding of the world of work and the qualification pathways suitable for students’ individual needs. Westhoughton High School is committed to not just fulfilling its statutory requirements in this area but providing for student exceptional support and guidance throughout their time at Westhoughton High School. The aim of CEIAG is to enhance the provision made to prepare students for the transition to the next stage of education, training or employment.
Duke of Edinburgh
At Westhoughton High School, we are proud to offer the Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award Scheme, the world’s leading youth achievement programme. Through our DofE programme, students have the opportunity to take on new challenges, develop new skills, and grow in independence, resilience, teamwork, and community spirit.
Extra Curricular Clubs
At Westhoughton High School, we believe that education extends far beyond the classroom. That’s why we place great importance on offering a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and enrichment opportunities designed to develop our learners’ LEARN values and enhance their cultural capital. Each club has been carefully aligned with the LEARN values, and students receive additional merits in recognition of their participation. Every student has a Learner Portfolio, where they can record and showcase their achievements throughout their time at school. This allows us to celebrate not only their academic progress but also the development of their character and wider skills.

We love to celebrate all the WOW works that happens in lessons every day. Take a look at our blog showcasing all our WOW work and LEARNing in Action.
Year 11 Pathway to Progress
