About Woodhouse Primary School

Woodhouse Primary School in Calderdale is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has capacity for 420 children and currently has 417 on roll, so it is essentially full. Its popularity is underscored by the admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 101 applications for just 52 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of nearly two applicants per place. Of those, 50 were first-preference applications, and exactly 50 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.2%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Anne Crane.
