Meet the team....
Mr Walsh - Class Teacher
I have been teaching for nearly 25 years across Warwickshire. I have taught several different year groups throughout my career but I have spent the most time in Year 6. I have settled in quickly since joining the team last Easter 2024. It is a joy to work with such a dedicated staff and it is good to witness how the staff and children at Westgate are so caring and supportive.
In my spare time, I enjoy training and competing in triathlons especially 1/2 and full ironman distances, I also enjoy ultra-marathons over a weekend and have travelled all over the country to run in them.
When not training I enjoy reading and walking in the fresh air. My wife and I also have a 2 cats, which we talk about far too much. I have two children who are now 24 and 20 who enjoy me being their taxi driver most weekends.
Mrs Compton - Morning TA
I have been a teaching assistant at Westgate for just over a year and a half. I’ve worked in both Key stage 1 and 2 with a number of children.
Westgate is a lovely, friendly school to work at with caring staff and great children.
In my spare time I love to do anything crafty including card making and sewing. I am also learning British Sign Language.
