Welcome To Westfield Academy

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Westfield Academy. We are an over-subscribed, high-performing, non-selective 11-18 Academy. We have been a consistently "Good" OFSTED school since 2012, with our most recent inspection being November 2024.

"At this Inclusive school, pupils get off to a great start. This is because staff help pupils  to "believe, strive and achieve." Staff believe in pupils' abilities and potential. Pupils get    plenty of help, support and encouragement with their studies."

"Pupils are respectful to each other and to staff."  OFSTED Nov 2024

Our fabulous staff and students make this a wonderful school to attend. 

Tim Body, Headteacher

  • Happy Saturday everyone. We are so proud of our year 11s for showing up to science revision today. It's amazing to see the dedication of our young people in preparation for their next set of mocks and for the summer exams as well. A huge thank you to Ms Rafter and Mrs Porter for coming in on a rainy Saturday to deliver such brilliant sessions to our year 11s. We are so lucky to have such dedicated teachers at Westfield who go above and beyond to ensure our students can be as successful as possible. With only 8 days to go to the tier mocks, revision is key to success. Well done everyone. #weekend #revision #Y11

  • Are you wondering what to do with the kids at half term that won't cost a fortune? There are plenty of activities that you could do that will get them off their screens and out in the fresh air. They may be resistant at first (the fear of the unknown!) but spending quality time together and trying something new can be a huge positive for family life. Give it a go! #Bucketlist #halfterm #activities #free #environment
