Westwood School

The Westwood School achieved Technology status in 2005. As one of only two schools in Coventry with Technology status we are successfully using our status to continue to

  • Raise attainment across all subjects with high quality teaching and learning supported by technology including ICT.
  • Develop our curriculum to provide a range of vocational and traditional courses in science and technology and across all subjects for all ages including adults
  • Develop links with our community including local employers whose businesses use technology, science and engineering

Technology status has had a wide-ranging impact on the education service that we can offer.

Our vision at The Westwood School is that learning should be wholly inclusive. Technology status allows us to provide lifelong learning opportunities for all members of our community throughout the year. As well as our 11-18 curriculum we offer extended schools, summer schools, adult classes, primary and secondary liaison sessions and further training for staff.

For the last two years we have successfully delivered industry driven CISCO ICT courses to adults with a 100% pass rate. This has been achieved in conjunction with Coventry University. From September 2010 we will be extending this provision to include CISCO Discovery and CISCO Exploration courses. For further information please contact Mr Larry Miller, Network Manager at the Westwood School at lmiller@westwood.coventry.sch.uk .

We also host a range of courses in conjunction with the University of Warwick Centre for Lifelong Learning. Courses currently offered include Accredited Certificates in Working with Children, Child Psychology, Creative Writing and Pastels for Beginners. For further information please contact Michelle Collett at the Centre for Lifelong Learning at M.Collett@warwick.ac.uk

Through the Coventry City Council Adult Education Service we are able to fund Adult Literacy and Numeracy Classes. For further information please contact us.
