Woodlands Primary School
About Woodlands Primary School
Woodlands Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Telford and Wrekin average of 63%. That one-percentage-point gap is modest, but it places the school 19th out of 40 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top half of local schools. More striking is the contrast in higher-standard attainment: only 4% of Woodlands pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, which is low, though individual subjects tell a more nuanced story. Reading stands out, with 40% of pupils reaching the higher standard and an average scaled score of 107, well above the national benchmark of 100. Maths and writing higher-standard scores are much lower, at 19% and 6% respectively. The school’s overall ranking score of 64 places it in the top 50% nationally, and it sits just outside the top 15 in the local authority, behind stronger performers like Moorfield and Newdale.
