Westfield School is achieving great things. We became an academy on 1 December 2018, within Chorus Education Trust – an inclusive and aspirational local trust that is drawing on the very best teaching and learning across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
With solid foundations in place, our Headteacher is working with staff to ensure that the trust’s ethos of ‘Outstanding Achievement for All’ is at the core of all work at Westfield. The school has a strong tradition of inclusion, whilst aspiring for the very best education, opportunities and results possible for all students. We are passionate about transforming our students' life chances.
This is a school where, if you have the drive, talent and commitment, you can make great progress. It is a happy school with supportive and willing staff, students and parents. It has excellent facilities, particularly for sport – with a sports centre (including swimming pool), which can be used for free by staff.
Our leadership team, along with our dedicated staff, work with local feeder schools and parents have moved Westfield towards becoming the fantastic school it was always meant to be. The school is now regularly oversubscribed in Year 7.
Chorus Education Trust
Chorus Education Trust is committed to providing the very best opportunities for both staff and students. The trust seeks to work in partnership with both primary and secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
A key part of the trust is the South Yorkshire Teaching Hub (SYTH), which is one of the 87 National Teaching School Hubs and which supports more than 318 schools within the region. SYTH delivers the DfE's 'golden threads' of initial teacher training (ITT), early career framework (ECF), appropriate body (AB) services and the entire national professional qualification (NPQ) suite. Sitting under the SYTH organisational umbrella, STTA delivers initial teacher training (ITT) within the region and NML SCITT brings together both the state and independent sectors nationally, to focus solely on training teachers of modern languages.
We believe in CPD from initial teacher training through to subject specialist training, then middle and senior leadership. We will support you to achieve the very best in your career.
