Woodlea Primary School
About Woodlea Primary School
Woodlea Primary School sits in County Durham, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score sits at 62. The school itself doesn't publish its own KS2 results in the data available, so a direct head-to-head comparison isn't possible on that metric. However, its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated the school Good overall, which places it in the majority of primary schools in the area — only 8 out of 208 primary schools in County Durham hold an Outstanding rating. Where Woodlea does stand out is in its admissions data: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 38 applications for just 23 places, with 22 of those applications coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 65 suggests strong local demand, and the fact that all 22 first-preference families were offered a place indicates that for those who really want it, Woodlea is an achievable choice.
