Wood End is a small and nurturing school, as our motto says: ‘Nurturing acorns into sturdy oaks’. We endeavour to nurture children ready for the next stage in their education.

Our school is special in many ways. Foundation and Pre-School work closely together to provide a vibrant and stimulating early years setting. Through child-initiated activities and planning in the moment, we capture the interests of the children and meet individual needs. Staff are well-trained and knowledgeable and children who choose to continue their journey from Pre-School into the main school benefit from a seamless transition.

Our Values

• We create a culture of respect, care and responsibility in a restorative family atmosphere.
• We are approachable, inspire trust and are at the heart of our community.
• Our highly committed and skilled team puts the children at the centre of all we do and takes pride in their achievements.
