Welcome

Westfield Community Technology College provides extended services to both students and community.

The school has a multicultural intake catering for students aged 11-19 in addition to providing pre-school and adult community education services.
Westfield CTC Building There are 1150+ students on roll taught by an enthusiastic staff who have access to high quality, state of the art technology, to assist them with their teaching and learning.

The school caters for individuals of mixed academic ability and students from many ethnic backgrounds and aims to deliver a learning environment that matches the individual needs of the pupil.

"A good school with outstanding potential"

At the end of 2006 the school was inspected by OFSTED, the result of which was a report that supported the long term strategy that the Headteacher and her Senior Leadership Team have been endorsing for the last few years and a school rating of “Good with OUTSTANDING potential”.

The college's capacity to improve is outstanding because there has been sustained improvement beyond competent management of the issues from the last inspection. For example, the college has won re-designation in 2006 for its technology specialism in recognition of its success as a specialist school. Examination results are the highest ever achieved. The college's commitment to raising aspirations and extending learning opportunities to young people and adults in the local community is outstanding and contributing to a harmonious local environment.
