About Woden Primary School

Woden Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 127 applications for just 60 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.12 applicants per place. Of those, 53 families put Woden as their first preference, and 52 of them were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though there is no parent view data available to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is led by headteacher Sara Walmsley and serves 462 pupils, which is above its official capacity of 420. With 55.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, and its popularity despite this is a notable signal of trust from local parents.
