About Woodford Primary School

Woodford Primary School sits within Stockport local authority, one of seven primary schools in the borough rated Outstanding by Ofsted out of 86 total. In the most recent inspection, carried out in March 2025, inspectors awarded top marks across every category they judged — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all came back as Outstanding. That puts Woodford in select company locally. Among its top-performing peers in the same authority are Gatley Primary School, St John's Church of England Primary School, and Bradshaw Hall Primary School. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is Queensgate Primary School, 1.3 kilometres away. Woodford is a small school, with 111 pupils on roll against a capacity of 234, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Elise Drake.
