About Ashton West End Primary Academy

Ashton West End Primary Academy is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 66 applications for just 46 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.43. All 46 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which is a strong signal that the school is a realistic first choice for many parents in Tameside. The school is led by headteacher Kimberley Pizuti and caters for 437 pupils aged 3 to 11, which is slightly above its official capacity of 420. With 40.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, yet it remains popular enough to be oversubscribed. This suggests that parents who send their children here generally have a positive view of what the school offers, even if formal parent-view survey data isn't available in this dataset.
