Oasis Academy Woodview
About Oasis Academy Woodview
Oasis Academy Woodview is a mixed state primary in Birmingham, currently home to 397 pupils against a capacity of 420, so it is running close to full. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 54. 2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a key demographic marker for the area. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for 48 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 75. However, only 24 of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, many families are listing it as a lower-choice option. The headteacher is Joseph Darnley, and the school has no religious character. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.
