About Woodridge Primary School

Woodridge Primary School is a state primary in Barnet, London, that is currently full to capacity with 210 pupils on roll. The school’s intake is notably less diverse in terms of disadvantage than the national picture: just 5.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary average of around 23% nationally. Demand for places is extremely high. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 153 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.1 to one. Of those, 44 families put Woodridge as their first preference, and all 30 first-preference offers were taken up. This level of competition suggests a school that local families are very keen to get into, and it’s worth noting that the school is non-denominational, so there’s no religious selection criteria to navigate.
