  • The children go positively skipping into school each day. We have always been very happy with Woodlands, and if any little concerns have cropped up which are few and far between we have always been able to discuss this direct with the teacher due to their open door policy.

    Mrs Eve, Parent
  • The ‘Woodlands Way’, an agreed set of values championed by strong yet sensitive leadership, has a significant impact on the development of the pupils’ understanding of themselves. As a result, pupils’ self-esteem and self-awareness is excellent.

  • I feel that we know exactly how to support her learning because of all the fantastic communication from the teachers… it just astounds us how incredibly friendly and warm all the staff are.

    Mrs Basi, Parent
  • The school deals with complex relationships and challenges brilliantly, embraces differences amongst the children and lets them be themselves. Megan has never ever been so happy, and comes home bouncing with energy.

    Mrs Taggart, Parent
  • Children are well behaved, teachers very friendly & welcoming. Always love attending events there as well organised & fun.

    Mrs Handley, Parent
  • I just wanted to write to let you know how well I believe Neha is doing in Year 4. She absolutely loves coming to school and has become so inspired by Mrs Peet especially in English. As a parent, I am really pleased with the progress so far.

    Mrs Patel, Parent
  • We all think what your team has accomplished over this (let's hope last) lockdown is incredible. Something that I personally have been astonished by is how much warmth the teachers have conveyed through a screen and how much has been achieved!

    Mrs Basi (Parent)
  • The quality of the staff is second to none and we have been very pleased with the schooling. Mrs Smith has been a fantastic teacher. Her homeschooling was wonderful and she has a lovely way with the children.

    Mrs Carter (Parent)
  • My son is so happy here. The teachers are so kind, inspiring and supportive. They have great opportunities for Forest school, swimming, sports, music, art, French, verbal reasoning, Maths, English, Humanities, performing arts and drama. They have great after school clubs, wraparound and catering facilities. They have thought of everything!
