About Woodville Primary School

Woodville Primary School in Chelmsford was judged Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, with a consistent Good rating across every category inspected — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a change from its previous inspection in 2008, when it was rated Outstanding overall. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 74%. That is comfortably above the Essex local authority average of 62% for primary schools, placing Woodville in the top 25% of schools nationally for this measure. The school also performs well on individual subjects: 87% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, 89% in writing and 79% in maths. Higher-attaining pupils are less numerous, with 11% reaching the higher standard across all three subjects, though 30% achieved higher in reading and 23% in maths.
