About

Westfield is a small, but mighty independent day school for up to 300 boys and girls situated in the heart of Gosforth, a pleasant residential suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne with good access to public transport. Founded in 1960, Westfield places great emphasis on combining academic excellence with educating the whole person.

The school gives real value to every child so that they will enjoy a feeling of security, a sense of belonging and will develop a belief of their own worth, whatever their individual strengths and qualities.

Westfield is totally committed to producing happy, self-confident, well-balanced young individuals, international in their outlook and ready to face a world full of opportunity and adventure. At Westfield, we believe the early years of education should be as joyful as they are purposeful.

From September 2025, our Junior House will welcome both boys and girls, extending our warm, ambitious and inclusive environment to more families while continuing to offer exceptional individual support and teaching.
