At Westfield, one size doesn’t fit all. We are not and never will be a selective Academy. We believe that it is our duty to cater to the wide variety of needs of all our students. Our numbers have increased dramatically over the last few years, as has our reputation.

You will join a caring supportive staff team with access to great sporting facilities and to a comprehensive wellbeing program. We are looking for talented individuals, and are determined to develop your careers to their full potential. Most of our senior staff and middle leaders have been supported in their developmental journey, including our Senior Leads for CPD and Pastoral Support & Inclusion.

To flourish with us, you need to be hard-working, flexible, engaging and professional. You need to have high expectations for yourself, your colleagues and your students. Working at Westfield is rewarding but hard work, and you will need enthusiasm, creativity and a great sense of humour, alongside a willingness to throw yourself into all aspects of Academy life.

We are an over-subscribed, high-performing, non-selective Academy. We have been a consistently “Good” OFSTED school since 2012, with our most recent inspection being December 2019. Our students have consistently achieved some of the best exam results in Southwest Hertfordshire.

In December 2016, we moved into a ‘new build’. This gave our students the learning environment they deserved, and they have thrived in it.

Our ethos is built on the words Believe | Strive | Achieve. We believe that students should have the highest possible aspirations for their future, and that through our support and hard work

they should be able to achieve whatever they wish for.
