"Mixed Feelings - Some Issues but Generally Good"

We've had a mixed experience at Wood Green School. On the one hand, the staff are all so passionate about their subjects, and the school's values of respect and nurture are genuinely put into practice. On the other hand, we've had some issues with communication and bureaucracy. We're not sure if we'll stay or go after the next Ofsted report.

"Wood Green School - A True Comprehensive"

I have fond memories of sending my children to Wood Green School. The school's ethos of 'Excellence for All' really resonated with me, and they definitely tried to achieve it. My kids loved the diversity of the student body and the opportunities they had to develop their interests. We were sad to leave but are grateful for the experience.
