About West Town Primary Academy

West Town Primary Academy sits in the Peterborough local authority, a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of 53 similar schools, it placed 39th, putting it in the bottom half of the LA. The top-performing peers in the area include Barnack CofE (Controlled) Primary School, Winyates Primary School (Spirit Federation), and St John's Church School (Spirit Federation), all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is also some distance from the nearest Outstanding-rated school, Fulbridge Academy, which is 2.1 km away. With 411 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, the school is clearly popular despite its middling rank. Oversubscription is high: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 95 applications for 55 places, with 53 first-preference offers made. The oversubscription ratio of 1.73 suggests strong local demand, and the school’s 27.5 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is above the national average, reflecting a diverse intake.
