Strengths
- “Pupils and sixth-form students at The Westwood Academy readily embrace its motto, ‘Better never stops’.”
- “They want to succeed, so they study hard in lessons.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils, achieve well.”
To improve
- “Pupils say that bullying does happen but that staff work hard to tackle it.”
- “Until this year, few pupils took a GCSE modern foreign language.”
- “This restricted English Baccalaureate (EBacc) entry rates and limited pupils’ academic options after Year 11.”
