About Woodford Halse Church of England Primary Academy

Woodford Halse Church of England Primary Academy is a state primary in West Northamptonshire that currently has 230 pupils on roll against a capacity of 399, meaning there is significant room for growth. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 22.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national average of around 23.8% for primary schools. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 25 applications for 21 places, with 19 first-preference offers made. This suggests a local demand that slightly outstrips supply, though the school is not yet full. As a Church of England academy, it has a religious character, and the headteacher is Alison Crockford. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, making it an option for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
