About Westwoodside Church of England Academy

Westwoodside Church of England Academy is a small primary school in North Lincolnshire, currently home to 139 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it operates well below its maximum size. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.6%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 26 applications for just 15 places, with all 15 first-preference applicants receiving offers. This oversubscription ratio of 1.73 signals that the school is a popular choice among local families, despite its relatively small intake. The school has a Church of England religious character and offers nursery provision for children from age three, making it a natural feeder for families seeking a faith-based start. Headteacher Kirsty Reilly leads a mixed-gender school that draws from the surrounding rural community, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour all judged Good.
