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

  • *PSHE shoutouts* Monday's PSHE lessons focused on essential financial skills! From mastering budgeting, understanding income tax and avoiding debt, students gained valuable insights into making informed economic decisions. Empowering young people with financial literacy is a key step towards lifelong success! In PSHE on Monday, Year 13 students participated in first aid training, practicing their CPR skills on dummies provided by @the_bhf and learning how to use defibrillators. This essential training gives students the confidence and knowledge to act swiftly and potentially save lives in emergency situations! On Wednesday, as part of their PSHE curriculum, all year groups attended an insightful presentation by Hertfordshire Constabulary's Hate Crime Officer, Danielle. Students learned what constitutes a hate crime, its impact, and how to report it. Together, we're building awareness and promoting a more inclusive and respectful community.

Great energy, teamwork, and spirit from everyone if you're wanting to take part just come down on Thursdays afterschool!
