Woodvale Primary Academy
About Woodvale Primary Academy
Woodvale Primary Academy in West Northamptonshire was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school earned Good marks across all five inspected categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. When it comes to the headline academic metric, 51% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the local authority average of 63% for the same measure, and places Woodvale 110th out of 134 primary schools in West Northamptonshire. The school’s ranking score of 51 puts it in the bottom 50% of schools nationally, at the 76th percentile. Despite this, individual subject results tell a more mixed story: 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 69% in writing, while maths was lower at 66%.
