About Woodhouse Primary School

Woodhouse Primary School, a state primary in Trafford, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. The school was rated Outstanding for both early years provision and behaviour and attitudes, suggesting particular strengths in the youngest children’s start to school and the overall conduct of pupils. On the key academic metric for primary schools — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — Woodhouse achieved 87% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Trafford local authority average of 71%, and it places the school 7th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 5% nationally.
