About Bishop Wood Church of England Junior School, Tring

Bishop Wood Church of England Junior School in Tring is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it is currently running at full capacity with 243 pupils against a published capacity of 240. That slight oversubscription is a practical signal of local demand, though the school does not publish formal admission oversubscription figures. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.2 per cent, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23 per cent, suggesting the school serves a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally. It is a Church of England school, which may influence its admissions criteria for some families, but the data does not specify whether faith-based oversubscription rules apply. The school is led by headteacher Gary Stanley and sits within Hertfordshire local authority, in the Dacorum borough. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2024, rated the school Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That rating has been consistent since its previous inspection in 2012, which also awarded Good.
