A safe place to learn and grow together
On behalf of the students, governors and staff I would like to offer a very warm welcome to Westfield School’s website, which we hope will provide you with a flavour of our welcoming, inclusive family led ethos where pupils flourish.
We are a small maintained Special School for students with severe and complex learning difficulties within the age range 2 – 19 years, arranged across seven classes based loosely on key stages but also influenced by learning style. We are constantly evolving in response to individual, local and national priorities, and are proud of how we manage these within our small school setting.
We are situated in the market town of Leominster, North Herefordshire, where we are well supported by the local residents and businesses of the town.
Our catchment area is generally North Herefordshire, but we also host students from South Shropshire, West Worcestershire and East Powys.
The following pages provide typical examples of our daily experiences, with information for those making their first visit to our site as well as useful resources for existing parents and friends. Recent news and events are featured, along with opportunities to get in contact should you require additional information.
Thank you for your interest in our school.
Best wishes
Nicki Gilbert
