Woodstone Community Primary School

About Woodstone Community Primary School

Woodstone Community Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, a clear differentiator for parents in North West Leicestershire. While the Leicestershire average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 62%, Woodstone achieved 70% in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school 11th out of 41 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. The school is also oversubscribed by a significant margin — 122 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 51 families listing it as their first preference. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among local parents, and the parent view data backs that up: 100% of respondents would recommend the school, and 95% strongly agreed their child is happy there.

Academically, the school performs well across the core subjects. In reading, 87% of pupils met the expected standard and 37% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 106. Maths saw 83% at expected and 10% at the higher level, with an average score of 104. Writing was slightly lower at 77% expected and 10% higher. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2016, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, early years provision and the quality of education. A follow-up ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained. That’s a notable improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2014, when it was judged to Require Improvement — so the trajectory has been firmly upward.

The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with 208 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. It offers a chapel, sports hall, gymnasium, library, ICT suite and a sensory room, plus clubs including coding, choir, chess and science. SEND provision covers moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication, and autistic spectrum disorder — and 91% of parents strongly agreed that SEND children get the support they need. With 14% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a broadly representative intake. For families who value strong academic outcomes, high parental satisfaction and a school that has clearly turned a corner, Woodstone is a compelling option — though the oversubscription means getting a place is competitive.
