About Woodston Primary School

Woodston Primary School is a mixed, state-funded primary for ages 4 to 11 in Peterborough, currently home to 560 pupils against a capacity of 630. That leaves some physical room, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 129 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.15. Only 52 of those applications were first-preference offers, meaning a significant number of families who wanted a place didn't get one. The school serves a community with above-average economic need — 31.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23%. That context matters when looking at outcomes, because Woodston is clearly a school that families in the area are keen to get into, despite the financial challenges many of its pupils face at home.
