About Woodnewton- A Learning Community

Woodnewton- A Learning Community is a large state primary in North Northamptonshire, currently home to 802 pupils against a capacity of 840, so it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27. 6%, which is notably above the national average and signals a catchment with higher-than-average socio-economic challenge. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 94 applications for 69 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 36. Of those, 63 were first-preference applications, and all 63 first-preference families received an offer. This suggests that while the school is popular locally, it is not so oversubscribed that it becomes unreachable for families who rank it first. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site.
