Every child who put Woodland View 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.

About Woodland View Primary School

Woodland View Primary School is a primary school in West Northamptonshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 416 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 10.0 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 top 28% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Woodland View Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 44 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 21.3 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. 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.
