About Dudley Wood Primary School

Dudley Wood Primary School is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, located in the Dudley borough of the West Midlands. It is a popular school, with 446 pupils on roll against a capacity of 460, meaning it is very close to full. The school is oversubscribed for its 52 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, receiving 99 total applications — an oversubscription ratio of 1.9. Of those, 46 were first-preference applications, and all 46 received an offer. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30.8%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and reflects the local demographic context. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for younger children. Headteacher Jenna Greenfield leads a school that has clearly generated strong demand from local families, despite the challenges of a high-FSM intake.
