About Westbridge Academy

Westbridge Academy’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 81% did so in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That’s well above the Wandsworth local authority average of 68% for primary schools, placing Westbridge 13th out of 55 schools in the borough and in the top 10% nationally. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects, with 89% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, maths and writing separately.

Digging deeper into the KS2 results, 15% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, while 41% hit the higher mark in reading alone and 26% in maths. Average scaled scores were 107 in reading and 106 in maths, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school’s ranking score of 81 places it in the top 10% of primary schools in London, and 329th out of 1,592 in the region. While progress scores for reading, writing and maths are not available in the data, the attainment figures suggest strong classroom outcomes. With 60.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results are particularly impressive and point to effective teaching across the board.
