Schools in Woodbridge
Woodbridge and its surrounding villages - Melton, Martlesham, Kesgrave - are served by 22 primary schools across East Suffolk. Suffolk County Council co-ordinates admissions for community primaries using nearest-school catchments, though a number of Church of England voluntarily-aided primaries in the Woodbridge cluster require supplementary information forms for faith criteria. Parents should confirm whether the school of interest is community or faith-designated before applying.
Secondary choice in the area centres on Woodbridge School (independent) and two state secondaries - Farlingaye High School in Woodbridge and Kesgrave High School nearby. Both state schools are popular, and Farlingaye in particular draws from a wide rural catchment; last-offered distances can vary significantly depending on village of residence. Suffolk's coordinated secondary round closes in October with National Offer Day on 1 March - check catchment.school for up-to-date last-offered distance data.
