Woolston CofE Aided Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 17 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.7%. There are about 25.2 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
