About Woodfield Primary School

Woodfield Primary School sits within the Plymouth local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11. Among the 69 primary schools in the area, it ranks 43rd, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. The top-performing peers in Plymouth include Tor Bridge Primary School, Elburton Primary School, and Hooe Primary Academy, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Woodfield’s ranking score of 59, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, puts it below the local authority average of 63.
