About Westwood Primary School

Westwood Primary School in Fenland has been rated Good across all areas in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2023. The inspection, carried out in June 2025, judged the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all as Good. The early years provision also received a Good rating. However, the school's academic outcomes tell a more complicated story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 47% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is notably below the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58% and places Westwood 19th out of 28 primary schools in Fenland. Only 1% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths, and the school ranks in the bottom 50 nationally for this combined measure.
