About our School

  Westfields Infant School is a successful and popular school that offers a warm and friendly welcome to all. It shares an attractive and extensive campus with a nursery, junior school, comprehensive school with sixth form, together with the public library, community centre and a variety of sports and leisure facilities.  The school was built in 1968 with six classrooms and extended to its present size in 1971.

 The school building is light, spacious and airy with nine classrooms surrounding a central hall and courtyard.  In addition there is a library, admin area, ICT suite, cookery room, kitchen and several shared reading and working areas.

 The immediate grounds surrounding the infant school are spacious and offer the children many and various opportunities to study, grow healthily and develop their social skills, relax and have fun, There are two playground areas – one is especially equipped fenced area for the Reception year children, providing larger playground equipment  where very young children can feel secure during their first terms at school. The larger playground provides zoned areas and is adjacent to the field that gives opportunities for adventure play.

 

 Our school was inspected by Ofsted in October 2008.  

We are pleased that the report recognised that:

  • "...This is a good school. There are some outstanding features such as the way pupils behave, and the care, guidance and support given to pupils. The personal development and well-being of children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is also outstanding. The school works well in partnership with others such as parents who are generally positive about the school and supportive in different ways such as when a large number of dads gave up their time for 'Bring Your Dad to School Day'.
  • " ...Children make good progress in all areas of their learning in Reception and this rate of progress continues throughout the school."
  • "...The curriculum is good."

  • "...Pupils love coming to school and this is reflected in their good attendance."

  • "...Leadership and management are good and the headteacher provides strong    leadership."
