About Woodbridge Junior School

Woodbridge Junior School is a state primary in Amber Valley that parents appear to view positively, though the school does not publish a specific parent recommendation percentage in its data. What is clear from the numbers is that the school is popular: with 228 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, it is operating at 95% of its maximum, suggesting strong local demand. The school is led by headteacher Emma Hanson and caters for children aged 7 to 11. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2022, rated it Good across the board, including for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This represents a consistent performance, as the school also held a Good rating in its previous inspection in 2016. For families weighing up their options, the combination of a solid Ofsted record and near-full occupancy signals a school that is well-regarded by the community it serves.
