The report brings together what children's services across Coventry, the police and the roads record around the school. It describes the area around the school. It never rates the school, its staff or its pupils.

These describe the surroundings, never the site. Three distances, each for a reason: 500 metres is the streets nearest the gate, about six minutes' walk; a kilometre takes in the routes in; a mile is the area UK Crime Statistics ranks against every other mile in England and Wales.

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Coventry

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH): share of assessments, Coventry against England, the widest gap above England first

Coventry England

  • Physical abuse by another child 5.6% against 3%
  • Sexual abuse by another child 4.5% against 2.5%
  • Gangs 2.1% against 1.7%
  • Child criminal exploitation 3.1% against 3.2%
  • Trafficking 0.2% against 0.4%
  • Going missing 2.7% against 3.3%
  • Child sexual exploitation 1.3% against 2.4%

This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this school or its pupils, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm.

About this school's place in the register

Woodfield is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 148726. Its type in the register is "Academy special sponsor led", in the group the Department calls "Academies". It is part of SIDNEY STRINGER MULTI ACADEMY TRUST, a trust whose schools share governance and, usually, safeguarding policy. Its UK provider reference number is 10088865. The register was last checked on 7 November 2026.

The statutory age range is 5 to 16, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as mixed.

The school is in England, at postcode CV4 7AB. Its grid reference is easting 430995, northing 274768, which is latitude 52.3701 and longitude -1.5462. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the parks, stops and stations nearby, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.

Woodfield sits in the Coventry local authority area, which has 128 open establishments in the register. The local authority is one of the three statutory safeguarding partners, with the integrated care board and the police, who together publish the local safeguarding arrangements and the threshold document a school's child protection policy refers to; the authority also sets out its early help offer, so the same authority context applies to every school in Coventry.

The nearest schools in the register to Woodfield are Bishop Ullathorne Catholic School (1.3 km away), Cannon Park Primary School (1.4 km away), Finham Park School (1.9 km away), Finham Primary School (1.9 km away) and Crackley Hall School (2.2 km away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Schools close together share many of the same streets, stops and parks, but each page and report is measured from that school's own site.
