Read the Headteacher's Letter to Parents about League Tables
Our GCSE examination results show steady improvement and for several years we have been in the top group of Hertfordshire schools for providing Added Value. This means that should a student attend Westfield Academy we will get the best out of them, whatever their starting position.
In November 2012 we received a “Good” Ofsted rating and following this in September 2013 we converted to Academy status. This transition was only possible because of the Ofsted and Local Authority conviction that we are “a school on the rise”.
This year the school is delighted to record and increased number of students leaving to study at university and to record our first ever successful Oxbridge candidate.
The following tables summarise the results gained by students in their final years of Key Stage 4 (year 11) and Key Stage 5 (Year 13).
