About this school
Westwood Academy is a special academy in Scarborough. It teaches children aged 11 to 16.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Westwood Academy under its current framework. Seeing a school for yourself shows what no page can, so arrange a visit before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Westwood Academy has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in July 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Scarborough Pupil Referral Unit. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Scarborough Pupil Referral Unit (closed June 2026)
Ofsted did not give an overall grade. Between September 2024 and September 2025 inspections graded each area of a school's work without a single overall judgement, ahead of the move to report cards. How Ofsted report cards work

- Behaviour and attitudes
