About Woodhall Primary School

Woodhall Primary School sends a strong signal to parents through its admission figures: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 27 applications for just 13 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.08 applicants per spot. All six first-preference families were offered a place, which suggests that those who actively choose the school tend to get in, but competition from outside that group is real. The school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so the oversubscription ratio is the clearest indicator of local demand. Headteacher Michelle Lake leads a small primary of 95 pupils against a capacity of 250, meaning there is plenty of physical room to grow. The school serves a community with 40.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and offers nursery provision for children from age three. Facilities include a sensory room, art studios, music rooms, and a chapel, alongside outdoor playgrounds and playing fields.
