Stockingford Academy
About Stockingford Academy
Stockingford Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 46 first-preference applications received for just 50 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 2.16. The school received 108 total applications for those places, indicating strong demand. While the Department for Education does not publish a Parent View recommendation percentage for this school, the high number of first-choice applications suggests a solid reputation in the community. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Matt Woods leads a school that currently has 497 pupils against a capacity of 630, meaning there is some room for growth. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2024 rated it Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2018. Every inspected category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was rated Good.
