About Woodlands Academy

Woodlands Academy is a small state primary in Ealing, currently home to 186 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it operates well below its potential size. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s high level of demand: for 2025/26 entry, it received 42 applications for just 18 places, with all first-preference applicants receiving an offer. The school’s intake is significantly more disadvantaged than the local average, with 40.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals — roughly double the national primary average and well above the Ealing borough norm. This demographic profile shapes the school’s character and priorities, and is reflected in its academic outcomes. Woodlands is a mixed, non-denominational school with nursery provision, and is led by headteacher Catherine Hasker. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in May 2024, rated it Good across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision — a consistent improvement from its previous Good rating in 2019, which had flagged early years provision as Requires Improvement.
