School overview

That is down 1.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 7% of primary schools in England.

Great Wood Community Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 15 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.5%. There are about 21.4 pupils per teacher. Great Wood Community 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.
