About Woodseaves CE Primary Academy

Woodseaves CE Primary Academy stands out sharply against the Staffordshire average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (KS2) sits at 65%, Woodseaves achieved a perfect 100% in its most recent results. That places the school second out of 308 primary schools in the county, and third within the Stafford borough itself. It also ranks 51st nationally out of nearly 14,000 primaries, putting it in the top 0. 4% of schools across the country. This is a small school — just 79 pupils against a capacity of 105 — but its headline academic performance is anything but modest. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 19%, slightly above the national average, which makes these results all the more striking.
