About our school
The New School at West Heath is a registered charity known as West Heath 2000 which is governed by a board of trustees.
Students have experienced a wide range of difficulties, but whatever they are, the school works towards helping each one to develop his or her full potential.
The school had a very successful OFSTED inspection in November 2007, when the curriculum was graded as Outstanding.
"The New School at West Heath provides a good quality of education with several outstanding features. The care and support the students receive is exemplary."
"The quality of the curriculum is outstanding as a result of the determination and tenacity of the headteacher's efforts to provide as much as possible for the students in her care."
"The students make good progress as a result of good teaching, highly effective support and an excellent curriculum."
"Staff work very hard to suport students, some of whom are re-engaging with formal education after extended periods out of school or are facing significant personal and emotional issues."
"The school provides a comprehensive range of information for parents. The aims of the school are set out clearly in the prospectus and there is a wealth of helpful information for new and prospective parents and carers."
"At all levels the planning of the curriculum is detailed and thorough."
"Student's cultural development is fostered well through the extensive and well-supported creative and performing arts opportunities within the curriculum and this is reflected in the range of sensitively-produced work in art and design."
