About Woodside CofE Primary School

Woodside CofE Primary School in North Warwickshire is a Church of England state primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 211 pupils against a capacity of 218. That near-full roll is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 30 places, with 38 families listing it as their first preference. Only 29 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of just over two applicants per place. The school’s intake reflects a notably diverse socioeconomic mix — 25. 1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23% and significantly higher than the Warwickshire average of roughly 15%. This suggests Woodside serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, yet demand remains strong, pointing to a school that local families clearly trust and want to get into.
