About Woodlands Academy

Woodlands Academy, a state primary in Bristol, has been rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school earned Good marks across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. However, the headline exam metric tells a more nuanced story. At Key Stage 2, just 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the local authority average of 58% for similar schools, and places Woodlands Academy 71st out of 85 primary schools in Bristol. In the national rankings, it falls within the bottom 50% of all primary schools. The school’s ranking score of 43 reflects these outcomes, though it is worth noting that the data comes from the 2023/24 academic year.
