"A truly wonderful school"

We've been so lucky to have our child attend Woodlands Academy. The school has a lovely atmosphere and the teachers are always willing to lend a helping hand. The curriculum is engaging and challenging, and the school's values of kindness, integrity and ambition are instilled in every pupil. Our child has grown in confidence and has made some wonderful friends.

"A bit of a mixed bag"

We had a good experience with Woodlands Academy, but there were some areas where we felt the school could improve. The facilities were great and the staff were mostly lovely, but there were times when communication with the teachers was lacking. Our child had some wonderful experiences, such as the science workshops and the school trip to Green Futures, but overall we felt that the school could do more to support children with special needs.
