My child is safe, she has a good selection of subjects to choose from. She has a sport. Physical activity is encouraged through girls get active. There is a strong commitment to learning from the teachers. The leaders are strong advocates of good behaviour. I love to see them on the outside of the school in the morning ensuring order as students arrive. However I would love to see more spaces for self study after school. There was a homework club introduced but it seems to be canc… *(Mar 2025)* - **4/5** — Good but some issues with communication: I'm generally happy with Westfield but I do think that they could improve their communication with parents. It's sometimes difficult to get information about events and meetings, and I've had to chase up absences on several occasions. However, the children seem happy and the facilities are excellent. *(Oct 2023)* - **1/5** — Stuff need more education: If you do care about your child future don't send them to this school.My daughter used to go to school everyday and they teach her how she can escape the school by putting her on PART TIME and at the end of part time my daughter said I don't want to go back to the school ,They didn't help her to come back to school they advised me to move her school which was the best options for them not my daughter.Thanks to Westfield Accademy now my daughter doesn't do any study. *(Sep 2023)* - **1/5** — Horrific: In particular one member of staff who goes by the name Sajida Choudhary. This teacher bullied me from when I began sixth form all the way until the end, she made me feel like a total idiot and didn’t really care about anything other than making sure that everything “seemed” right. She never allowed students to go to the toilet which is ridiculous! She had a book with all the students names on and each year each student had one pass to go to the toilet if you used it, well no more toilet breaks f… *(Aug 2023)* - **2/5** — its something..: I go here and the teachers are so rude and they dont care about your mental health and they say and do whatever they want, they dont even try to listen to you it’s honestly such a joke *(Jul 2023)* - **5/5** — Excellent facilities and supportive staff: My son has been at Westfield for several years and I'm so impressed with the facilities and the staff. They really make you feel welcome and help the children to achieve their full potential. I've also been to some of the parent events and was struck by the emphasis on 'believing, striving and achieving' which I think is a great ethos. *(Jul 2023)* - **2/5** — Westfield review: Westfield is a low quality school with uniform.As the uniform breaks easily.My sons who is in year 7, told me that his pe bag zip wasn't working.Also he said that his socks ripped when he was doing pe.I do not recommend this school,and the pe uniform is a waste of money. *(Feb 2023)* ## Other schools in Watford - [Watford Grammar School for Girls](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/watford/watford-grammar-school-for-girls-12042) — 2.7/5 (12 reviews) - [Parmiter's School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/watford/parmiters-school-12540) — 2.3/5 (8 reviews) - [Garston Manor School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/watford/garston-manor-school-7229) — 3.6/5 (7 reviews) - [Leavesden JMI School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/watford/leavesden-jmi-school-7050) — 4.5/5 (5 reviews) - [Watford Grammar School for Boys](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/watford/watford-grammar-school-for-boys-12032) — 4.5/5 (5 reviews) - [Oxhey Nursery School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/watford/oxhey-nursery-school-6892) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
