About Woodland View Primary and Nursery School

Among the 30 primary schools in Ashfield, it ranks 24th, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. The top-performing peers in the same authority include John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. Woodland View's ranking score of 52 puts it well behind those schools, and its national percentile of around 74.5 means it sits below roughly three-quarters of all primary schools in England.
