Welcome to Woodland Primary School
A warm welcome to our website. Woodland Primary School first opened it’s doors as a new school on 13th April 2016. It is a smaller than average primary school with around 200 children aged 3-11 years.
We joined Humber Education Trust and became an academy in January 2018 and are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We are situated in a beautiful, new building which provides a rich, inspiring learning environment that motivates pupils to learn.
We strive to create the very best conditions for learning so that our community is empowered to achieve its full potential in all that it aspires to do and be. Our children sit firmly at the heart of everything we do, and we work hard together to demonstrate our firm belief that only the very best is good enough.
Our main aim is to provide all our pupils with a broad, balanced, well planned curriculum, developing the whole child through a range of interesting and exciting activities. Pupils will have access to a rich variety of experiences as well as opportunities to participate in many short and extended visits.
It is our mission to ensure that every child who attends Woodland Primary School leaves our school with many happy memories of the wonderful experiences they have had with us and is fully prepared for the next stage in their education.
Our school is proud of its links with the community and the school’s open door policy. We welcome all parents and visitors to our school. We are keen to engage with all members of our school community and pride ourselves on our positive relationships.
I do hope you find our website useful. If you would like a printed version of any of our policies or documents please contact the school office.
