About Woodcote Primary School

Woodcote Primary School’s headline metrics paint a picture of a school that is significantly underperforming compared to the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 31% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is less than half the Leicestershire average of 62%, placing the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. The gap is stark across individual subjects too: only 52% reached the expected standard in reading, 55% in maths, and a low 38% in writing. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard is also very small, with just 10% in maths and 7% in writing. These figures place Woodcote 198th out of 231 primary schools in the local authority, and 40th out of 41 schools within North West Leicestershire specifically. For parents focused on academic outcomes, these numbers are a clear warning sign.
