About Westfield Primary School

Westfield Primary School in South Staffordshire is a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 403 pupils against a capacity of 500. That leaves a fair amount of physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 97 applications for 52 places, with 51 of those going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1. 87, meaning nearly two families compete for every spot. The pupil body is notably less disadvantaged than the national average — just 7. 7% of children qualify for free school meals, compared with roughly 23% across England. That low FSM figure, combined with strong local demand, suggests the school draws from a relatively affluent catchment. Headteacher Emma Lote leads a school that, while popular, has seen its Ofsted rating slip from Good in 2015 to Requires Improvement following its most recent graded inspection in June 2024.
