Options: A-levels and equivalents
As students approach the end of their time in Westfield School we work with them to develop a plan for their next steps.
To ensure all our students can access careers information and advice, our full-time Student Progression Managers, Mrs Ray and Mr Rastall, supported by our independent, impartial, professionally-qualified careers adviser from Sheffield Futures, is available in our dedicated Careers Hub. You can find out more on our careers advice page.
Post-16 Options Booklet
At the beginning of Year 11 all students receive an Options Booklet, published annually by Sheffield Futures which provides detailed information about different career pathways open to them.
Post-16 opportunities Evening
Every autumn we hold a Post-16 Opportunities Evening, where local providers provide information to our students about the different paths open to them.
Sixth Form options
Westfield School is a part of Chorus Education Trust. As part of the trust, Westfield students have priority status when applying to the sixth forms within the Chorus Trust family of schools. This means that, as long as Westfield students meet the entry requirements, they will gain priority over any other external applicant for a Sixth Form place.
Eckington Sixth Form
Eckington Sixth Form offers a wide variety of courses, accessed from their dedicated sixth form facility. Sixth Form students receive excellent support throughout their time at Eckington with careers and personal development advice delivered by their experienced staff team.
Silverdale Sixth Form
Silverdale Sixth Form regularly achieves some of the best A-level results of all state schools in Sheffield, and is part of Silverdale School which was voted Top State Secondary School in the north of the decade by the Sunday Times in 2020.
