Woodlands Primary School and Nursery in short
Woodlands Primary School and Nursery is a Madeley primary with nursery that became an academy in June 2026 under the Four Hills Education Trust. The predecessor school was rated Good at its March 2023 inspection, so the new academy carries a solid record into the trust even though no graded report sits under the current name yet.
No public review scores are on record for Woodlands Primary School and Nursery across the sources we hold, so families judge it on the predecessor record rather than on reviews. In our view the trust move is promising, while the thin website and the absence of any inspection of the academy itself are what count against the school for now. The first academy inspection will say more.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Woodlands suits you if you want a Madeley primary with nursery that has just joined a local trust, carrying a Good predecessor record [2] [3]. What counts against it is the lack of any inspection of the academy itself and a thin website [2] [1]. The first academy inspection will be the real test of the new setup.
