From the Westwood Academy
We are delighted to state that this school truly puts the kids at the centre of everything it does. We approach each child as an individual and tailor their education so they are interested, active, and having fun. "One size fits all" is untrue. We want our kids to pick things up quickly since they are so engaged in their activities and eager to move on to the next stage of their education. The students at Westwood have a history of achieving high levels of sustained attainment and make quick progress. We do this by developing a committed and well-trained staff who genuinely care about the kids, providing a broad and stimulating curriculum that meets their needs, consistently providing highly effective teaching with a constant, relentless focus on strengthening this area, and a restless drive to improve everything we do. We are happy to show you around the school and answer any questions you may have if you are looking for a place for your child to attend. We're sure you'll feel the same sense of satisfaction and fulfilment as we all do at Westwood Academy.
