Westfield School
Hastings, TN35 4QE · East Sussex · primary school
74th of 130 primary schools in East Sussex we can score, 145 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.3/10 against 3,339 of them, against 3.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Lego, cooking, arts and crafts, board games, and role-play clubs. Sports include football, athletics, and cross country. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 180 pupils in a building with 212 places, leaving 32 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a class size smaller than its capacity?
