These are the admission policies and arrangements for 2027 to 2028 admissions to schools within the City of York. If you would like a copy of the Guide to Admission Policies or Guide to School Catchment Areas these will be available from August 2026 and can be requested, once published, by email: [email protected]. All admission policies are available on this page, and you can check school catchment areas online.
If you are interested in your child/children joining Westfield Primary Community School, we would be more than happy to arrange a show around. Please ring the School Office on 01904 555295 to organise a convenient date and time.
We do not offer one set day but prefer to offer individual appointments enabling families to ask questions specific to their child and to see our school in action.
