Impact

The impact of our careers programme on our students

At The Westleigh School, we believe it is very important to assess the impact of our careers programme for our students.

We work closely with Wigan Authority to determine the destination data of our students and strive to exceed the local data.  The most recent data we have is for the 2021 Year 11 Leavers.  This section will be further updated on receipt of the 2022 Year 11 Leavers
