Westways Primary School

School overview

Westways Primary School is a primary school serving Sheffield, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 620 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 73% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 20% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Westways Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 65 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. Westways Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
