About Woodseats Primary School

Woodseats Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in the Sheffield local authority, serving children aged 3 to 11 under headteacher Jack Fellowes. It sits within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing peers include Dobcroft Junior School, Totley Primary School, and Angram Bank Primary School. Woodseats itself ranks 77th out of 106 primary schools in Sheffield, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Nether Edge Primary School, 1.5 kilometres away. Woodseats is a non-faith school with a nursery provision, and it is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 122 families applied for 46 places, with 44 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 2.65 suggests strong local demand, even though the school’s ranking is modest. With 410 pupils on roll against a capacity of 446, it is not yet full, leaving a small number of places available beyond first preferences.
