About Woolden Hill Primary School

Woolden Hill Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits just a whisker below the Leicestershire average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 62%. That places the school 115th out of 231 primaries in the county, firmly in the middle of the pack. But the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading stands out as a clear strength: 82% of pupils met the expected standard and 39% achieved the higher standard, both well above the national picture. Maths is a mixed bag — 68% hit the expected mark, but only 25% reached the higher threshold. Writing, meanwhile, saw 75% at expected and just 11% at the higher level. So while the combined headline is average, reading is punching above its weight.
