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.
