Westwood-with-Iford Primary School
About Westwood-with-Iford Primary School
Westwood-with-Iford Primary School has turned a significant corner, with its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 awarding a Good rating across every category judged. This is a notable improvement from the school's previous inspection in 2021, where it was rated Inadequate overall. The turnaround is reflected in the inspection's detailed breakdown: the quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all now sit at a solid Good. For a small village primary with just 50 pupils on roll, this consistency across the board is a strong signal of stability. The school is also clearly popular with its families — 93% of parents who responded to the Parent View survey would recommend it, and 86% strongly agreed that their child is happy there. With a capacity of 119, the school is currently well under its maximum, but it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 admissions, receiving 19 applications for just 5 places, with all first-preference families offered a spot.
