Woodside Primary School
Oswestry, SY11 1DT · Shropshire · primary school
53rd of 97 primary schools in Shropshire we can score, 127 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 the 3,363 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9 out of 10 among them, against 3.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access clubs including Forest School, Creative Writing, and Computing, alongside sports like Archery and Pickleball, and arts activities such as Choir and Dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 591 pupils in a capacity of 504, meaning it is over capacity by 87. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 87-pupil overage? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the 56.0% expected standard and the national median? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum to support learning?
