West (Women In Engineering, Science & Technology)

London

WEST is a small charity with a big aim: to inspire girls and women to study and work in non-traditional trades and careers like engineering.Wendy Miller “I was the first full-time female student to study engineering at Sheffield College. After employment as a draughtsperson and engineering project manager, I have worked in education since 2004. I am now Learning and Teaching Lead at the AMRC Training Centre, run by the University of Sheffield, which delivers Engineering Apprenticeships from Advanced to Degree Level. I joined WEST because I believe passionately that we need to actively change women’s perception of STEM careers – and men’s perception of women in engineering! There is a world of opportunity out there for young women and we are missing a lot of talent.” Pat Morton (Chair) Pat Morton (Chair) “I spent 20 years in the construction industry as a surveyor and another 20 years in Higher Education working in equality – particularly gender equality – in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and built environment. When Ros Wall died we wanted to do something active to remember her. She was a real activist so we decided to set up WEST and support a cause dear to Ros’s heart.” Saj Parveen Saj Parveen “I undertook a foundation course in engineering at Sheffield College / Sheffield Hallam University, followed by a degree in engineering, and then a postgraduate certificate. I’m now a senior lecturer in mechanical design engineering. I love developing and inspiring the next generation of engineers and especially keen to see more women becoming engineers, which is why I got involved with WEST.”

On behalf of everyone at Newlands Primary School, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to our school and hope you have a happy and exciting learning journey with us. At Newlands we work hard to provide a stimulating, supportive and challenging learning environment in which children feel confident and want to learn and do their best. We believe every child wants to succeed and has the potential to achieve great things. We aim to meet the needs of each individual by ensuring we provide them with the opportunities, support and encouragement needed to develop their social, emotional, creative, academic and physical abilities to the full. We are a Rights Respecting School and want our children to know their rights and foster an ethos of tolerance and acceptance of everyone, respecting, not just their own rights, but the rights of others. We believe it is essential that your child feels happy, secure and makes good progress in their learning. We value the contribution parents and carers make in helping children achieve this. We work in partnership with parents and carers to ensure every child does the best they can. All of the adults at Newlands, whether they are staff members, parents, carers, governors, support workers or specialist providers, are role models to our children. By respecting each other and by valuing each child as an active and important member of our school and local community we will encourage children to develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and a respect for others. We want your child to flourish, and feel happy and secure during their time with us in order that they realise Newlands is a place where aspirations and ambitions come true. We want every child to be their own success story and look forward to working in partnership with you to give your child the best start possible to their education and life long learning. We hope you will enjoy your visit to our website and that you find the information you are looking for.
