Woodfield Academy
About Woodfield Academy
Woodfield Academy, a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in Redditch, sits in a challenging position compared with the Worcestershire local authority average. Its Progress 8 score of -1.78 is dramatically below the LA average of -0.21, placing it well below average nationally and ranking it 30th out of 47 similar schools in the county. The school is the lowest-ranked of the five schools in Redditch itself, sitting at the 100th percentile locally. This headline metric suggests that, on average, pupils at Woodfield make significantly less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 than their peers across the wider authority. The school's attainment 8 score of just 0.8 reinforces this picture, indicating very low average grades across eight core subjects. For parents weighing up options, these figures are a clear signal that Woodfield Academy faces considerable challenges in driving academic outcomes, and that its results diverge sharply from the typical performance in Worcestershire schools.
