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

  • Artist spotlight - Bartek K in Year 10 has created a skilful and highly detailed artist transcription inspired by the work of David Hockney, one of Britain's most influential contemporary artists. This spotlight is particularly poignant following the recent news of Hockney's death at the age of 88. Celebrated for his innovation across painting, photography and digital media, Hockney leaves behind an extraordinary artistic legacy that has shaped generations of artists.

  • A good but very wet day at the County Athletics Championships.  Well done to Emelia in the Y8/9 200m, Ammar in the Y8/9 300m, Elisha Y8/9 100m all came 5th/6th in their heats, some racing against Year 9s.  Bandzy and Michelle also competed in the Y10/11 100m heats and finished 6th and 4th respectively.  George ran his quickest time and qualified for the Y10/11 200m final and finished 7th. He did so well to qualify in the heats and a new PB for him.  Franklyn qualified in 2nd place for the 100m Hurdles and narrowly missed out on a podium place in the final by finishing 4th by four tenths of a second. He was pretty chuffed with himself considering he was also racing against the current county champion.  Next up the last County League meet and the District Athletics Day, it promises to be two exciting events.

  • Last week students received the results of their auditions for our Summer Showcase! We were blown away by the confidence, creativity and talent shown throughout the audition process.

A huge congratulations to everyone who has been selected to perform. We can't wait to see your hard work come to life on stage over the coming weeks. Now it's time for rehearsals, teamwork, dedication and plenty of performance magic as we prepare for an unforgettable showcase of talent.
