About Woodlands Primary School

Woodlands Primary School sits above the local average for its key stage 2 outcomes, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the South Gloucestershire average of 61%. That six-point gap is a meaningful one in primary school terms and places the school 24th out of 69 primaries in the local authority, putting it comfortably in the top half of its peers. The school’s reading results are particularly strong — 85% of pupils met the expected standard and 40% reached the higher standard, well above what you’d typically see. Maths is a little more mixed: 73% hit the expected level, but only 17% achieved the higher mark. Writing at the higher standard is low at 7%, though the expected rate of 77% is solid. The school’s overall ranking score of 67 puts it in the top 50% nationally, and it sits 22nd in the LA when ranked by this metric, just outside the top quarter.
