About this cluster
Within the Westbury Cluster there are 8 schools (local authority maintained and academies) in the 2021-22 academic year – 1 secondary and 57 primaries, 1 infant and 1 junior school.
The majority of the clusters’ schools are situated in urban areas, with 3 of the primary phase schools in rural villages. 1 of the primary phase schools is a ‘small school’ (fewer than 120 children on roll).
