About Woodside Junior School

Woodside Junior School in Buckinghamshire is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it is effectively full. With 241 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, the school is operating at maximum occupancy, which suggests strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.5%, a figure that gives a useful sense of the school's intake relative to the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This indicates a slightly more affluent catchment than the national picture, though still with a meaningful minority of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school is mixed and non-denominational, with no religious character, so it draws from a broad cross-section of the local community. Headteacher Owen Lloyd leads a school that has clearly established itself as a popular choice for families in the area, given that it is oversubscribed in terms of pupil numbers versus its published admission number.
