About Woodhall Primary School

Woodhall Primary School sits within the Suffolk local authority, in the Babergh district, and ranks 15th out of 34 primary schools in that area. That puts it comfortably in the top half locally, though it sits behind the top-performing peers in the county such as Stratford St Mary Primary School, Somerleyton Primary School and Wenhaston Primary School, which all score higher on the same ranking metric. Woodhall’s ranking score of 64 places it 73rd out of 253 primary schools across the whole of Suffolk, meaning it is a solidly mid-ranking school in a competitive local landscape. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher Lisa Tweed. With 446 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is slightly over capacity, and a third of its pupils (33. 6%) are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average and reflects the school’s inclusive intake.
