About Woodstock Primary Academy

Woodstock Primary Academy sits at the bottom of Leicester's primary school rankings, placing 65th out of 68 schools in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 results are notably below the Leicester average: just 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the LA average of 62%. That gap of 19 percentage points is significant and places the school in the bottom 50 nationally. The picture is similar across individual subjects — 57% reached the expected standard in reading, 66% in writing and 47% in maths, with no pupils achieving the higher standard in all three. The school's overall Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement, confirmed in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, reflects these academic challenges. However, the inspection did note that personal development and behaviour and attitudes are both Good, suggesting that while outcomes need work, the school environment itself has strengths.
