Woodheys Primary School is a very special school with an outstanding reputation which is founded on our mission statement: We all approach each task with the words of our school motto in mind, ´Together Everyone Achieves More´. Their effect is reflected in the dedication of the staff and the achievements of the children and support of parents. Our staff are exceptionally caring and experienced and work hard to ensure that each child reaches hisher full potential. Children thrive on the positive atmosphere at the school and take advantage of many opportunities made available to them. We offer activities to fill the needs of all abilities and interests. We believe that happy children work to fulfill their potential and we place high emphasis on achieving this through close links between home and school and fostering a caring and secure environment in which children can prosper. Our aim is to work in partnership with all parents and we will always be pleased to meet with you to discuss your child´s education further. This school welcomes each child to be part of a community in which all concerned endeavour to provide a happy, safe and stimulating environment. We are an internationally recognised school for our Environmental activities. As an Eco School, we have been involved with the WWF and the Global Sustainable Cities projects. We have installed Solar Panels with Government Grants and have numerous ongoing Energy EfficiencyEnvironmental Projects, including the construction of two ´Outdoor Classrooms´ for curriculum work including science activities and for the general enjoyment of our children, and a J.P.Joule Positive Energy Labyrinth Garden. During Local Democracy Week, our Eco School Council were representatives at a Young People´s Conference. Our focus for development is to enable our ´children in today´s world´, to have confident voices to be able to express their opinions and personal feelings about important Global Issues which affect children all over the planet. Open debate, Circle Time and Philosophy for children ´P4C´, all feature in our planning. This project will ´come to life´ if our pupils, using technology, can discuss issues with their peers within Europe and Africa. We came first in the country out of 400 schools, to win £8,000 in the ´David Bellamy Award for Environmental Cleanliness´, This prize enabled us to establish a pond and wild area for further experimental work. As one of our main areas for improvement, AFI is our Global Links and we already have links with schools in Durban, South Africa through the ´Afritwin Project´, we would like to now work with schools in Europe. Our ethnicity percentage is now 35.7 and our whole ethos as a school is to educate children to be proactive Global Citizens of the future.
