Every child who put Westgate Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Westgate Primary School

Around 236 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 69% 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 2.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% 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 Westgate Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 26 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.5%. There are about 21.1 pupils per teacher. Westgate 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
