Head of School: Mr J Birkbeck
Westfield School is on the cusp of achieving great things. It has recently joined 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, a new 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.
This is a school where, if you have the passion, 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.
The school is an 11-16 comprehensive with over 1,240 students on roll, located in the south-eastern suburbs of Sheffield. It sits within the centre of its catchment area and enjoys excellent, modern facilities. There is easy access to the M1 and Sheffield City Centre.
Chorus Trust also offers Westfield students the opportunity to progress into their Sixth Form – where students this year achieved the best results of all state schools in Sheffield. Staff work in partnership across both schools, offering support and sharing expertise.
Strong partnerships with parents, our family of schools and wider community underpin our success. We are developing strong collaborations and much closer working with local primary schools and post-16 providers.
You won't want to leave!
As a learning community Westfield recognises that staff are entitled to develop and progress. We are able to draw on our partnership with the Trust’s teaching school, the Sheffield Teaching School Alliance (STSA), to develop our staff and offer them extensive professional development opportunities. STSA has a strong track record of developing teachers at all levels.
As part of the Trust you will be able to take advantage of opportunities working with colleagues at other schools, as well as contribute to our ever-improving practice. When you are ready to take the next step in your career we are sure you will want to stay with us. With many local schools lined up to join Chorus, you will find that you can develop your career within our supportive team.
