About Woodgate Primary School

Woodgate Primary School sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and varied primary landscape where it ranks 204th out of 254 schools in the LA, placing it in the bottom half of the table. For context, the top-performing peers in the area include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. Woodgate’s own ranking score of 53 reflects the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a non-religious character. It is led by headteacher Deborah Colley and currently has 404 pupils on roll, just shy of its capacity of 420. A notably high proportion of pupils — 62. 6 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, which gives a clear sense of the community it serves.
