Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Woodgate Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Woodgate Primary School

Woodgate Primary School is a primary school in Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 404 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 37% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 16.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 101 in reading and 99 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Woodgate Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 39 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.0%. There are about 20.2 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 63% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Woodgate Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
