About Westfield Infant School

If you're a parent weighing up Westfield Infant School, the numbers alone tell a compelling story. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 107 applications for just 41 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.61. That means nearly three families applied for every spot, and of those, 39 first-preference offers were made. It's a clear signal that local parents rate the school highly, and the demand is backed up by its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, where it was rated Good across the board. The school has held a Good rating in its most recent inspection, compared with an Outstanding rating in its previous inspection from 2009. For a small infant school with just 164 pupils on a capacity of 180, that level of competition suggests a strong local reputation.
