About Westdale Junior School

Westdale Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results sit exactly on the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61% for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That places the school in a very specific position: it is neither outperforming nor underperforming its peers, but holding steady at the midpoint. However, the picture becomes more nuanced when you look at the higher standard. Only 4% of Westdale pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, which is a notably low figure. This suggests that while the school is reliably getting most children to the expected level, it is not pushing a significant number into the top tier. In the Gedling local authority ranking, Westdale sits 21st out of 32 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half of its immediate borough. Nationally, it falls around the 54th percentile, which is broadly in line with the national median.
