I am extremely proud to lead Westfield School and determined to work alongside students, staff, parents, carers and governors to ensure Westfield becomes the outstanding school it clearly has the potential to be. My role is to ensure that students receive the education, support and opportunities they need to be able to achieve incredible things and have successful futures.
I know that the happiness of our children, alongside success - be it academic, sporting or creative - is our top priority. At Westfield we are committed to supporting and challenging everyone in our school community to achieve incredible things, to ensure both success and happiness in the short and long term. Our school sits at the centre of the community.
We pride ourselves on developing and maintaining close relationships with parents, carers, local businesses, community groups and the family of schools, which have ensured that we have tremendously strong foundations on which to build.
Westfields proud history and strong reputation for sporting success is being built upon and developed, in areas such as languages, mathematics, the arts, sciences, engineering and humanities. To secure the very best for every student we have very clear school improvement priorities:
