About Woodlands Academy

Woodlands Academy in North East Lincolnshire has undergone a significant turnaround since its previous inspection. The school was rated Requires Improvement overall in March 2023, but in its most recent graded inspection in July 2025, Ofsted judged it Good for quality of education, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 63 per cent. That is just one point below the local authority average of 64 per cent, placing Woodlands 26th out of 42 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire. Nationally, the school sits around the 50th percentile, which is a solid middle-ground result for a primary with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals.
