Westfield Junior School is proud to be a member of the Thomas Estley Learning Alliance (TELA).  TELA are an alliance of primary and secondary schools across Leicestershire working together for mutual improvement. We currently have over 40 schools across 6 Multi Academy Trusts who are dedicated to improving outcomes for all young people.

TELA offers a range of continual professional development opportunities for secondary and primary colleagues in both leadership and pedagogy strands, including Early Career Teachers.

TELA offers school to school support in a variety of ways, which can be accessed by schools inside and outside the alliance. School to school support ranges from focus visits/lesson observation involvement, through  leadership support and specific project work, to full NLE deployment action plans targeted at moving to a higher OFSTED category. TELA also has a comprehensive peer review programme which can be tailored to each school's needs.
