What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Westfield Primary School is inclusive and welcoming. The headteacher is ambitious for all pupils. He instils a spirit of care and cooperation in staff and pupils alike. Staff care for pupils. The school values of creativity, respect, collaboration, ambition and resilience support everything the school does. Staff have consistent expectations of pupils' behaviour. From early years, pupils follow the routines set by their teachers. In lessons, and around the school, pupils behave positively. Relationships between pupils and staff are respectful. Poor behaviour is addressed quickly should it occur. There is little low-level disruption. Bullying is rare. Leaders deal with it effectively if it happens. As a result, pupils feel happy and safe at this school. Leaders prioritise pupils' character development through an exceptional programme of experiences. Pupils enjoy activities that enhance the curriculum, such as sports, crafts and performing arts. Some pupils are sports leaders or school values champions. Pupils have a strong appreciation of British values. This threads through school life. Most parents are supportive of the school. Typically, comments include, 'Westfield is dedicated to my child's educational and emotional well-being.'
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects in the wider curriculum, assessment is not yet secure in checking what pupils understand. As a result, teachers do not have a clear understanding of how well pupils have learned the required knowledge. Subject leaders should check pupils' understanding of their subjects so they can assure themselves of the quality of education being provided in their subject area.
