I am very excited to be taking up my new post as Head Teacher for Westfield Primary at the beginning of what promises to be a very exciting school year.

I believe in providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment, and value excellent manners and first-class behaviour. More than anything though, I believe in the importance of children making the very best progress they can in their learning, both academic learning and in learning about themselves, their relationships, their community and the world in which they live. As you make your way through this site, I trust that what will unfold is an indication of the philosophy of our school.

Westfield Primary is a one form entry school that has a wonderful staff of people who care deeply about the school and the education and well being of your children. I am looking forward enormously to working alongside them to continue to provide the very best for our pupils.

During our last OFSTED, June 2008, the inspection highlighted that, “Pupils’ personal development and well being are good, as is their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. They enjoy school.”   Pupils’ enjoyment is essential to their growth as individuals and Westfield Primary tries to promote this love of learning in all facets of school life.

We operate an open door policy at Westfield Primary, and we believe strongly in the importance of creating a positive partnership with parents, so please feel free to come and introduce yourself, or to come and speak to me or any member of staff.

For those parents/ carers that are visiting our website for the first time, your child’s education is a vitally important process and it is right that you should try to find out more about the opportunities and resources that are available for your children. I hope that you will want to see the school, talk to the children and staff, experiencing first hand the excellent education that we offer all our children.  We welcome visits from prospective parents and look forward to showing you around our school.  Please call the office to arrange a convenient time when we will be pleased to show you around our school.
