About Bourne Westfield Primary Academy
If you're a parent weighing up Bourne Westfield Primary Academy, the first thing to know is that 84% of the 188 parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey would recommend the school. That's a strong signal, though not unanimous. The school is also clearly popular: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 178 applications for 90 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 98 applicants per place. Of those, 101 were first-preference applications, and 79 first-preference offers were made. On the survey, 88% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 87% felt their child is safe. However, the picture is more mixed on SEND support: only 54% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that children with special educational needs get the support they need, while 41% disagreed or strongly disagreed. Similarly, 21% of parents disagreed that concerns are dealt with properly, so it's worth probing that area if your child has additional needs.
