About Westfield Primary School

Westfield Primary School in the East Riding of Yorkshire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, and it is currently running above its official capacity. With 452 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly popular with local families. That popularity is backed up by the admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 107 applications for 59 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.81 applicants per place. Of those, 68 families put Westfield as their first preference, and all 59 first-preference offers were taken up. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 5.8%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the intake draws from a relatively less disadvantaged catchment. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it is non-religious in character, with no formal faith designation.
