Woodfield Primary School
Plymouth, PL5 4HW · Plymouth · primary school
32nd of 66 primary schools in Plymouth we can score, 69 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 1,353 of them, against 4.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs such as Build It, Choir, Eco Club, and Microbits, alongside sports including gymnastics, football, and hockey. They also participate in art and crafts and take trips to Bell boating. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 235 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 25. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
