Ireland Wood Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 36 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.4%. There are about 23.0 pupils per teacher. Ireland Wood 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.
