At Woodlands we encourage all children to challenge themselves to achieve more. It is important to us that children develop an independent approach to learning by being resourceful, reciprocal, reflective and resilient.

 

We provide a creative curriculum in which children really enjoy developing and applying the essential basic skills for life-long learning. We help children to recognise the need for empathy and respect for others both within our school, our local area and in the wider world. Honesty and the courage to share views and opinions are fundamental to our curriculum.

 

We also recognise the importance of working closely with parents and carers to help all children develop a confident approach to life, to have high self-esteem and to inspire them to have a life long love of learning.

Our Vision

Woodlands is a school that prepares its pupils for the future.  Pupils are taught to be resilient, confident and independent. They can deal with change and can overcome challenges. Through understanding and support we foster a love of learning in a safe, nurturing environment. We engage pupils by developing their self-esteem and by building trusting relationships. We always expect high standards in everything that our pupils do.

 

At Woodlands children feel valued. We make every day exciting by providing a challenging and varied curriculum, theme days, trips and events. We love to see pupils make progress. We invest time and effort to help our pupils be happy and to reach their full potential.

 

We value the power of positivity, respect, kindness and effort. Woodlands believes in supporting everyone's emotional wellbeing and mental health, so that they can be listened to and are happy together.  Through an open minded, respectful and collaborative approach, Woodlands staff and Governors put the pupils at the centre of everything they do. Woodlands Infant School pupils seek to be the “best me they can be!”
