“This is a school where pupils flourish, both personally and in their academic studies. “

In its recent Ofsted inspection, Quality of Education and Sixth Form Provision at Woodford were judged to be ‘outstanding’ (November 2022).

“Teachers use their deep subject knowledge well.  They present and explain new content clearly and question pupils skilfully.  They also promote discussion and debate.  This deepens and extends pupils’ learning.  Pupils are confident and articulate in contributing their opinions and ideas in lessons.  In subjects such as science and design and technology, pupils do a lot of practical work.  Teachers use this work to secure pupils’ understanding and to develop subject specific skills.  Indeed, teachers help pupils to think and work like subject specialists.”

Please take the time to read the report in full.

“Leaders are providing a high-quality education for pupils.  They have a mission to inspire pupils to achieve great things.”
