Westfield Junior School
About Westfield Junior School
Westfield Junior School in Hinckley and Bosworth is a state primary for 7-11 year olds with a mixed intake and no religious character. It currently has 353 pupils on roll against a capacity of 385, meaning it is running at around 92% full, which suggests steady but not overwhelming demand from local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29.5%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and signals that the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. This context matters when interpreting its academic results, as schools with higher FSM percentages often face additional challenges. The school is led by headteacher Richard Haltof and falls under Leicestershire local authority.
