National Curriculum Adult Curriculum Policies At Westfield School we believe in
creating a family atmosphere in which every member of the school community is
valued in their uniqueness. Westfield School is smaller than most: there are
currently just over 60 learners on roll, between the ages of 2 and 19. This
number varies year on year. The school dates from the early 1970's, but the
buildings and grounds have undergone considerable improvement over the years,
and now feature six class bases, two sensory areas, a specialist food technology
room, therapy room, multi-purpose hall and sensory garden. Other facilities such
as hydrotherapy and RDA are accessed via alternative providers. Our playground
is divided into four distinct areas to enable different activities to take place
with no effect on young people requiring ‘quiet time’. We regard playtimes as an
extension of the curriculum and different activities are offered on different
days, which enables learning to continue throughout leisure activities. It is a
great feeling to witness four of the ECM outcomes happening every time you look
out of the window: no-one has yet managed to achieve economic well-being out
there!
