Schools in Westbury
Westbury is an industrial town in western Wiltshire with 11 schools, including 7 primaries and one secondary — Matravers School. Wiltshire Council coordinates admissions and publishes individual school catchment maps each autumn. No schools in the Westbury area are currently at or above capacity, giving families reasonable choice. Four schools carry a faith designation.
Three schools operate as academies. For Wiltshire community schools, straight-line distance is the main tiebreaker after any statutory priorities. Matravers School draws pupils from Westbury itself and from surrounding villages including Bratton, Dilton Marsh and Edington. Families in Bratton should note that Bratton Primary School is also within the Westbury cluster and feeds into the same secondary catchment.

3 of the schools in Westbury are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Wiltshire, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
