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.
