Welcome from Headteacher

Weston Favell School is now a single site school, on our Weston site, and our new buildings are fully completed. We are now housed in state of the art accommodation. This is a fantastic benefit and opportunity for our staff, students, parents and local community. The opening of our brand new purpose built ‘21st century’ school signals the start of a new era for WFS.  We now set our sights on becoming a centre of excellence for education.

Weston Favell School has entered a new phase in its development - one which is focused on rapidly raising academic achievement and making WFS a first choice local school. Our Ofsted inspection in May 2007, confirmed that we are a ‘satisfactory’ school with some ‘good’ elements and it recognised that we are on a journey of school improvement. Leadership & Management and Care, Support & Guidance were deemed to be ‘good’ by Ofsted and we are now building on this to ensure that all areas of school life are good or outstanding.

We are committed, as staff, to creating a calm, supportive, caring and respectful ethos which will enable all students to make the most of the opportunities presented here. This ethos will underpin our learning and enable students to make excellent progress and achieve high levels of attainment. We hope that we can work in partnership with all stakeholders to move the school forward. In particular we hope that the students will develop a sense of ‘ownership’ and get involved in planning the future of their school.

Our intention is to develop the whole person. Working in partnership with parents we are laying the foundations which will produce well-educated, honest, positive and hardworking citizens of the future, who have the ability to form, develop and sustain caring relationships and who are fully aware of the part that they, as individuals, can play making society better. We want to promote the concept of ‘rights and responsibilities’ based on core values and under-pinned by a rigorous but clear whole school behavior code.

“Weston Favell School has changed dramatically in the last few years, both in terms of its physical appearance and ethos.  Having been Deputy Head at WFS for 3 years, I am delighted that I will become Acting Headteacher from September.  I am extremely proud of our school and all the achievements we have made.  I hope to welcome you soon, as parents and students, and would ask you to join us on our journey of school improvement. I hope that you will be part of our continuing developments and working together, we can ‘celebrate success’ in every aspect of school life.”
