About Woodlands Park Primary School

Woodlands Park Primary School in South Hams was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2015. The school's academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 77% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Devon local authority average of 57%, placing the school in the top 25% nationally for this key metric. In the South Hams area, it ranks 9th out of 35 primary schools. Digging into the individual subjects, reading scores are a particular strength: 85% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average scaled score was 107, compared with 105 in maths. A third of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, though the proportions hitting the higher bar in writing (10%) and maths (23%) are more modest.
