About Waulud Primary School

Waulud Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary school in Luton, serving children aged 3 to 11. It sits within a local authority that contains 46 primary schools, and its most recent ranking places it 31st among them, putting it in the bottom half of Luton primaries. For context, the top-performing peers in the area include Tennyson Road Primary School, Hillborough Junior School, and River Bank Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Leagrave Primary School, about 1.8 kilometres away. Waulud itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That represents a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, when overall effectiveness was judged as Requires Improvement. The school is led by headteacher Anne Devereux and has a capacity of 420 pupils, though it currently enrols 452, making it oversubscribed.
