Strengths
- “Westfield is a calm school, where pupils feel happy and safe.”
- “Pupils strive to meet the school’s high expectations of behaviour.”
- “They treat one another with respect and consideration.”
To improve
- “On entry to the school in the early years, many children do not have the skills and knowledge which are typical for their age.”
- “This is particularly the case with respect to their speech, language and communication.”
- “Although these pupils make good progress from their starting points, many struggle to achieve the standards expected for their age.”
