About Woolavington Village Primary School

Woolavington Village Primary School is a state primary in Somerset that currently teaches 169 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it has around 80% occupancy. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: 34. 1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of roughly 24%. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 40 applications for 25 places, with all 25 first-preference applicants receiving offers. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 6 to 1 suggests a school that local families actively seek out, despite it not being full to capacity overall. The school has a nursery provision for two-year-olds, and its age range runs from 2 to 11. It is a mixed, non-religious school with no boarding or sixth form. The headteacher is Georgina Maclennan, who took over leadership after the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022.
