Awful- do not go here
They did not care for mental health. The head of safeguarding was genuinely the rudest person. Clear favouritism from teachers towards popular students. Preach equity but did not help quieter students that didn't act out. Its almost like you don't need to lash out to have bad mental health. I could go know for hours about my 2020-2025 experience here. But for any parents who have shy or struggling kids, do not send your kids here.

do not send your kid here
i hate this school was told i was attention seeking when i asked for help with my mental state so they dont support you what so ever and when someone is being bullied all they say is stay away from each other as that is going to do anything.School ruined me i hate coming here and having to go somewhere were you dont want to go for 5 years all the time is really draining so homeschool your kid if you want them to be happy trust me

Bit bad innit
Bad school. I did not enjoy my time here. Also the food gave me aids never eat food from this school. The classrooms are literally falling apart, they are so old. Nothing has changed since the 70s it looks like. Some teachers are actually really nice but a lot are boring with little personality. But then again, why would you send your kid to Preston?

Amazing school!!
I went to Westfield from 2015-2020 and I loved it there as far as I could tell there were no immediate issues that need addressing and I 100% intend to try and convince my future children to go here. Some amazing memories here and they’ll stay with me for the rest of my life

Meh...
It was alright, there are worse schools but I honestly didn't really enjoy my time. It was not the teachers as most of them were fine. It was probably the bullying or the fact I felt I wasn't given the right support for my needs. As I am ✨Mentally Ill/disabled✨ I needed a bit more support than I got, but, like the bullying that's a me problem. If you are not like me and are a pretty normal student and person, you'll probably have a much better time than I did.

Amazing secondary school
When I was at Westfield academy(2020 unfortunately being a short year)I found the experience very enriching and the teachers I had were hard working and pushed every child to their limit. Especially the Maths teachers, Geography teachers and French Teachers. Westfield has a work experience activity in which the staff helps and guides students through application processes while also letting them be dependent. I would say that certain departments could use the extra money(French) for the teachers...

Great School
Westfield Academy is an amazing school, but there are some discrepancies, just like very school has their own discrepancies.
