Welcome to Woodlands School
As Headteacher, I am incredibly proud to lead a vibrant and nurturing school community where every pupil is supported to thrive. At Woodlands, we are proud to be part of the Unity Multi Academy Trust, working together with our partner schools to share best practice and continually improve the experience for all our pupils and families.
Our school is guided by the values of Respect, Integrity and Collaboration. We believe that by upholding these values in everything we do, we create a positive, inclusive environment where everyone can succeed. Our ethos – Ready, Respectful and Safe – is at the heart of our daily life at Woodlands. We encourage all members of our community to be ready to learn, to show respect for themselves and others, and to stay safe both in and out of school. These principles help us to build strong, trusting relationships and a culture of mutual support.
As a broad-spectrum specialist provision, we are committed to meeting the diverse needs of our pupils, providing tailored support and personalised learning opportunities so that every child can achieve their full potential. Our dedicated staff work in partnership with families and external professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for our pupils.
Thank you for visiting our website. Please explore further to find out more about our school, our values, and the exciting opportunities we offer.
Warm regards,
Mel Keating
