“Pupils thrive at Westfield School. They value the positive relationships they have with staff. Staff are nurturing and caring, and, in turn, pupils are kind to each other. Pupils feel safe and so they are willing to try new things. The school makes sure that pupils are known in their community. Pupils are taught to use the local leisure centre, library, cafes and shops. Older pupils attend local work experience placements. Pupils are prepared well for adulthood.”
