#WKGSY10 and #WKGSY12 Textile students enjoyed a talk from former student Amelia Bush, who is currently studying Fashion design and technology at Manchester Metropolitan University. She has recently completed a 6 month placement in New York at the Fashion Institute.

@WKGS_Maths These were fab! Lovely to see the Y7 giving them all a go! 💜

@WKGS_PE @WestKirbyGS Good luck! 💜

@WestKirbyGS Y7 have arrived at PGL! The rain has stopped, lunch has been eaten, the sun has come out & we’re off to our first activities!

Fabulous start to our 2nd cohort of @ssat Leaders for the future 💜 Great to work with staff from 10 local schools looking for their next steps in leadership 🌟 @WestKirbyGS

@WKGS_Maths @WestKirbyGS This was brilliant! Great to see how it all worked 😊💜

The Maths department enjoyed participating in an open lesson with Y7 today. It’s not very often a class gets to have so many teachers guiding them all at the same time! @WestKirbyGS

This how we do the end of Y11 at @WestKirbyGS! A fantastic group of people 💜💜💜 We’ve loved you being with us for the last 5 years & we’re looking forward to the next 2! Massive thanks to @OllyDavismusic @Dayzysteez Mr Knight & Mr Clarke for the music, we loved it!
