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

  • We are the Champions Westfield Academy emerged Regional Champions of the National Robotic Challenge. We also won the Thinking Award: Award for the most excellent critical thinking skills. As a result, we have now been pre-selected to apply to represent the UK internationally. Saturday the 28th of February, 2026 marked a historic milestone for our school as our Robotics Team were crowned Regional Champions, securing their place at the upcoming UK Championships this April. Competing against a field largely dominated by private and independent schools, our students rose above the odds in spectacular fashion. This was our very first year entering the competition. Every component, every improvement, and every opportunity was made possible through our student's resourcefulness and relentless dedication.

  • All set for tomorrow! Our Yondr unlocking stations are now installed by the school gates and ready for launch day. From tomorrow, students will begin using their Yondr pouches as part of our phone-free school day initiative helping to create a more focused learning environment and encouraging students to be fully present during the school day.

  • BIG NEWS!! We are incredibly proud of our year 13 student Radan who over the half term travelled to Sri Lanka to trial for the Under 20's National football Team. Radan represented Westfield Academy with pride and professionalism and had this to say about his experience:  "The experience was one of a kind, and I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend something that very few people would have experienced. The weather and style of play out there was a difficult test, the competition was very fierce and it wasn't an easy challenge. The other players were very adapted to the heat and humidity and based their game around physicality and stamina more than tactics and technique - however i feel being in that environment has taught me a lot of new skills and also allowed me to network with some of the best talent that the Sri Lankan diaspora has to offer: players from Swiss and German top flight academies, Australian A - League players and many more. Out of the 200 invited to trial - consisting of around 100 of the best national talent and 100 of the best international talent - I was fortunately selected for the final U20 Squad to be put forward for the upcoming SAFF U-20 Championship and AFC U-20 Asia Cup. This feels like a huge achievement and I feel relieved as all my hard-work over the past year has been rewarded. Massive congratulations to Radan for making the team and we can't wait to see how he gets on!

  • Red faces for our netball winners. The Year 10 girls won against RMS 15-7. With five wins in seven matches, the team are having an excellent season. Player of the Match awarded to our invincible interceptor, Michelle .

  • The final week of the year 8 basketball season finished with a bang! Two games in two days with back to back wins!! Amazing effort from all of the team this season with their hard work on and off the court. Now looking forward to next season and supporting the year 7's with their final games.

  • Last night we were proud to host our annual Iftar at school.  Over 120 pupils and staff from different faiths came together to break their fast in a truly special evening of reflection, community and togetherness.  Events like this remind us what makes our school so special young people and staff coming together to learn from one another, celebrate our diversity and strengthen the sense of belonging within our community. A huge thank you to the staff and sixth formers who gave up their time, prepared food, set up the canteen and stayed behind to tidy up, and to all the pupils who contributed to such a respectful and positive evening. Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing.
