About Woodfield Primary School

Woodfield Primary School in Doncaster is a state primary that, on the surface, looks like a solidly average performer when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the local authority average. The school's combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score sits at 64 per cent, which is only three points above the Doncaster LA average of 61 per cent. That places it 41st out of 98 primaries in the borough, right in the middle of the pack. But dig a little deeper and the picture gets more interesting. Woodfield is significantly oversubscribed — it received 52 applications for just 38 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 34 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests local families see something in this school that the raw numbers alone don't fully capture. The school is also operating well over its official capacity of 296 pupils, with 394 children on roll, which hints at a school that's popular and stretched.
