Children are welcome to join Westfield at any stage of their junior academic life up to the age of 11. Our senior school is open only to girls.
Westfield welcomes applications from children of many different backgrounds. All are treated as individuals. We are not a highly selective school but all applicants are assessed before a place is offered.
Westfield is totally committed to developing each child’s full potential. Our classes are kept to a maximum of 20, enabling teachers to give each pupil the individual attention they need.
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important choices you will make. Please telephone the School Office on 0191 255 3980 to make an appointment to come and visit our thriving and friendly school. We would be delighted to welcome you to Westfield.
How to apply/admissions process
The normal process for new entrants is to make an appointment to see the school; if you can't come to our next Open Day or would like to visit at an earlier date, please get in touch with our Admissions Office. To us every day is an open day and we will be happy to arrange an appointment that suits you and your individual requirements.
If you would like to make an application for Westfield please complete our registration form and we can then make arrangements for your child to spend a day with us.
Our usual practice is to invite your child to spend a Taster Day with the year group they will be entering. For entry into Senior House this day would usually include taking Maths and English tests to help us establish learning levels.
After a Taster Day you will receive a formal letter usually offering a place in Westfield. It is then up to you how quickly you would like to proceed; some children like to join us as soon as possible, others come at Easter to help settle in before the new academic year but most girls start in the following September.
