About Westwood Park Community Primary School

Westwood Park Community Primary School sits within Salford local authority, where it ranks 55th out of 65 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, well behind the top-performing peers in the area. The three highest-ranked primaries in Salford are Broadoak Primary School, St Mary's RC Primary School, and St Thomas of Canterbury RC Primary School, all of which achieved significantly higher scores on the same metric. Broadoak, the nearest Outstanding-rated school, is just 1.4 kilometres away. Westwood Park itself was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school serves a community with above-average disadvantage: 51.1 per cent of its 284 pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average for primary schools.
