About Outwoods Primary School

Outwoods Primary School sends a strong signal to prospective parents: in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 112 applications for just 52 places, with 50 of those going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 2.15 tells you this is a school local families actively want. The school is led by headteacher Joanne Cutbush and serves 436 pupils in East Staffordshire, operating slightly above its official capacity of 419. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed the school 'remains Good' — a rating it has held since its previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was upgraded from Requires Improvement. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a straightforward community option for families of any background.
