Respect

Responsibility

Resilience

Welcome to Woodlands!

My name is Gemma Crosthwaite and I am proud to be the Headteacher of this happy and successful school where our core values of Respect * Responsibility * Resilience underpin all our work.

We have a diverse community and we recognise and respect our differences, celebrating all our strengths and achievements. We pride ourselves on our strong relationships and family atmosphere. 

We encourage children to take responsibility for their learning, setting high expectations emotionally, socially and academically. Our curriculum is engaging and provides opportunities and experiences to help children gain a deeper understanding of the world in which we live and meet with more success.

Through the guidance and support of our skilled staff, children and families are given a range of tools to develop independence and build resilience. It is these skills along with a safe learning environment that enable our families to grow and flourish.

If you have any questions please contact the school and we will be happy to help.
