Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils are very positive about attending Westfield House School. Many have had long periods out of education before attending this school. They gain confidence in being at school and want to attend. Over time, they develop enthusiasm for their learning and a thirst for knowledge. The school has high expectations for what they can achieve. Most pupils leave with a range of GCSE qualifications.

Pupils have good working relationships with the staff and are also very supportive of each other. They know that the staff are genuinely interested in them and in helping them get back into school and to do well. Pupils learn to be calm and behave in lessons. They feel safe and well cared for.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

Reading sits at the centre of the curriculum and the school's work. Pupils have access to a wide range of interesting reading materials. All read, or are read to, daily. Reading is part of all curriculum subjects. All pupils who are at risk of falling behind with reading receive one-to-one catch-up tuition.

Most areas of the curriculum are well planned, and it is clear what pupils will learn in each year group, building on what has come before. There are a small number of subjects where this is still in development.
