Woodfall Primary School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Information about this school

Woodfall Primary School is larger than the average-sized primary school. Most of the pupils are White British.

The proportions of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs are broadly in line with the national average. Up until 2013, the school had resource base provision on site. This was funded by the local authority and offered tuition and support to pupils with particular learning needs from Woodfall and other schools.

The school now runs its own specialist provision for Woodfall pupils with special educational needs. This allows some pupils to be taught in small groups away from the main classes. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils at the school is below... the national average.

The term disadvantaged pupils is used to describe those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority. These pupils receive additional support from pupil premium funding. Before- and after-school care is available on the school site.

This is not managed by the school and is subject to a separate inspection at a different time. The school meets the government's current floor standard, which sets out the minimum expectations for pupils' progress and attainment in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The current headteacher was appointed in 2012.
