At Westfield School, we aim to create well-rounded, self-motivated individuals who are healthy, confident, happy and achieve highly. We will inspire children to learn skills for life, develop a growth mindset and, in partnership with parents, build a supportive environment that enables growing confidence and good mental health and wellbeing for all. We believe that our school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical, emotional and moral development of the individual child. We teach our children the 3 R’s: When they walk through the door in the morning, we encourage children to be Respectful, Responsible and Ready to Learn.
