About Woodlesford Primary School

Woodlesford Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 153 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 73. Of those, 54 families put it as their first preference, and 54 offers were made to first-preference applicants, meaning virtually every family who wanted it most got a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and while the school doesn't publish a formal parent satisfaction score, the sheer volume of applications tells its own story. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Nicola Abidi. It has capacity for 450 pupils and currently enrols 434, so it's running very close to full. Just over 11% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average.
