Strengths
- “Westfield Academy is a happy, inclusive and caring school.”
- “They say that bullying is rare.”
- “Many parents comment positively about how the school ‘sees the qualities in every child’.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, curriculum plans are still not precise enough.”
- “This means that knowledge is not broken down sufficiently, and some pupils, including some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), struggle to keep up.”
- “Sometimes, teachers do not check that pupils have understood what they have been taught before they teach new content.”
