About Woodside Primary School

If you're a parent weighing up Woodside Primary School, the numbers from other parents are a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 99% of the 81 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's backed up by some very strong individual scores: 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, and 100% also felt the school makes sure pupils are well behaved. The school is clearly popular, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Woodside received 97 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3. 23. Only 21 of those offers went to first-preference families, so getting a place is competitive. It's worth noting that 23% of responding parents said their child has special educational needs or a disability, and 79% of those strongly agreed that the school gives them the support they need.
