About Westcliffe Primary School

Westcliffe Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in North Lincolnshire, and its headline Key Stage 2 results reflect that position almost exactly. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 60%, which is just two percentage points below the local authority average of 62%. That places Westcliffe 33rd out of 51 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the league table but not by a wide margin. Where the school does stand out is in its intake profile: over half of its pupils (54.3%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, making the school's broadly average outcomes a more notable achievement. The school is also oversubscribed, with 49 applications for 34 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 32 of those 49 were first-preference choices — suggesting local families see it as a solid option despite the middling ranking.
