About Westwood First School

Westwood First School is a state primary in Staffordshire Moorlands that currently teaches 267 pupils against a capacity of 294, meaning it is running close to full but with a small number of spare places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15%, which is worth noting against the national average for primary schools of around 23% — so the school serves a slightly less disadvantaged intake than the country as a whole. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 86 applications for 41 total places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.1 to one. Of those applicants, 39 put Westwood as their first preference, and all 39 were offered a place. That suggests a school that is popular locally but not so oversubscribed that first-preference families are routinely turned away. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 5 to 9, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
