Welcome to Westfield Arts College

Welcome to our website.

Westfield Arts College is a very special place. We are incredibly proud of what we offer our pupils and the dedication we have to truly meet their needs. We have high expectations for everyone and provide them with the support and encouragement they need to achieve their best.

Our vision is ‘Broadening Horizons’ and we offer a very rich curriculum which extends opportunities for our pupils to experience so much more than a standard academic curriculum. The arts and physical development are a vital part in allowing our pupils to thrive and develop into confident and successful young people and adults.

We hope our website gives you a strong sense of our ethos and the wonderful young people that we work with.

What people say about us

I absolutely loved Westfield because people were taking care of me and was always there for me. Thank you so much to the teachers who helped me and to all my new friends who I met for being there for me.

I came in thinking everything was going to be amazing but I came out knowing everything was extraordinary.

My son had a terrible time in mainstream education for most of his life. Westfield gave him the chance to be himself without judgment and plenty of support. He grew in confidence and I am proud of the young man he has become due to the help he received in Westfield.

A Parent's Comment

This school made me a better person and a better man if it was not for Westfield I would not be where I am today at college leaving my life a happy man and I could not thank them enough for what they have done they are the best school and they have the best teachers thank you for everything.

A Pupil's Comment

Parents who met with an inspector spoke warmly of all that the school does for them and their children, in particular how well their children are nurtured and supported to achieve their full potential. The majority of parents who completed the online questionnaire also spoke very highly of the school. ‘Westfield has provided a bedrock of care and education for our son throughout his education, willing to provide him with a vital, positive link to a place he felt safe and valued in’ is typical of the many positive comments made by parents.
