About Woodfield Infant School & Nursery

Woodfield Infant School & Nursery sits in a Shropshire local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score is 59, but the school itself only caters for children up to age 7, so it doesn't publish KS2 results. What stands out instead is its Ofsted record: the school was graded Outstanding in its most recent inspection in 2025, with every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Outstanding. That puts Woodfield among just 7 Outstanding primary schools out of 127 in the local authority. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 82 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 152 applications, with 75 of those coming as first preferences. That ratio of 1. 85 applications per place tells you local families are keen to get in. The headteacher is Rebecca Preece, and the school has a nursery provision, so children can start well before Reception.
