Everyone Belongs

A strong, supportive community

Woodside is a school where everyone belongs. From the moment children join us, whether in Nursery, Reception or later on, we get to know them and their families and we welcome you to join in with every aspect of school life. Our school has a strong family feel and our community works together to give every child the best possible all-round education.

Questions & challenge

Confident, ambitious thinkers

Our broad and balanced curriculum encourages children to become critical thinkers, to ask questions and challenge ideas, and to gain in-depth knowledge of the topics they are learning.

Beyond the classroom

A rich co-curriculum

Children enjoy lessons outdoors, exploring our allotment, forest and wildlife areas. They learn British Sign Language and have opportunities in sport, music, ambassador roles and campaigns.

A flying start

woodside nursery

We welcome children from three years old into our vibrant and nurturing nursery, and we offer funded hours and wraparound care. Children love our fantastic outdoor space and woodland play area and, under the wing of our experienced early years team, they grow and develop into happy, confident learners ready to embrace primary school.
