About Westlea Primary School

Westlea Primary School in Swindon was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged to be Good. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 57%. That is five percentage points below the Swindon local authority average of 62%, and places Westlea 31st out of 51 primary schools in the area, in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 63rd percentile among 13,686 primaries. The school’s overall ranking score of 57 reflects a solid but not outstanding academic profile, and it has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, the previous one being in 2011.
