About Westlands Primary School

Westlands Primary School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score is 65, but the school itself does not publish its own KS2 results in the data provided, so a direct comparison on that metric isn't possible here. What is clear from the data is that the school is significantly oversubscribed: for 23 places in the 2025/26 academic year, it received 67 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.91. That is a strong signal of local demand, especially given that 22 of those 67 applications were first-preference choices. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all scoring a 2 on the Ofsted scale. That consistency is worth noting, as it suggests the school is performing reliably well rather than relying on a single strong area. Its previous inspection in 2013 also rated overall effectiveness as Good, so the school has held this rating across two inspections spanning a decade.
