About Woodgate Primary Academy

Woodgate Primary Academy, a state primary in Mid Sussex, was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2017, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s leadership and management, alongside its early years provision, were both judged Good. However, the most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results. Just 25% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, placing the school at the very bottom of its local authority ranking — 30th out of 30 primary schools in Mid Sussex. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 2% of schools on this measure. Reading was a relative strength, with 83% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 17% achieving a higher score, but writing and maths lagged significantly behind, with only 33% and 42% reaching the expected level respectively.
