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

  • This year, Westfield Academy proudly received a bursary to take part in the FIRST Tech Challenge UK & Ireland, marking an exciting step in our STEM journey.  Students were invited to join based on interest and enthusiasm, and this has been strongly reflected in their voluntary commitment giving up break times, lunchtimes, and additional hours whenever needed to see the project through.  From there, specialist sub-teams were formed in programming, building, design, and strategy to prepare for high-level competition. The programme's mission is to make STEM more accessible, inclusive, and diverse, while developing students' confidence, leadership, problem-solving, project management, and teamwork skills. During the first stage of the competition, Westfield Academy was one of only three schools to arrive with a robot capable of completing advanced manoeuvres a remarkable achievement among some of the UK's top schools. The FIRST Tech Challenge transforms STEM learning through hands-on, student-led robotics challenges that connect young people with real-world engineering and coding, inspiring future STEM careers.

  • I am pleased to share that we have officially concluded our basketball season on a high, finishing with an impressive 73–37 win against Croxley Danes. This game also marked the final match for Aidan and Ujwal, who have both been integral to the development and success of the academy. Their commitment, leadership, and contribution over time have helped shape what the programme is today. If you see them around school, please take a moment to congratulate them on their achievements. We end the season with a record of 6–4, which is a fantastic accomplishment for our first truly competitive season. The progress and resilience shown by the team throughout the year have been outstanding. To celebrate the season, we will be hosting a Mixed Academy vs Coaches game this Thursday at 3:30pm. Staff and students are more than welcome to come along and supportit's set to be an enjoyable and competitive finish to the season. Thank you to everyone who has supported the team throughout the year.
