Welcome to Woodside Primary School and Nursery 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about our school community.

My name is Sarah Green, and I am proud to serve as Executive Headteacher of Woodside Primary School and Nursery. At Woodside, our values of Care, Aspire and Achieve are at the heart of everything we do. They are more than words; they shape our culture, guide our decisions and inspire our ambition for every child and adult within our school community.

Woodside is a warm, welcoming and inclusive school where children are encouraged to develop confidence, curiosity and resilience. We are proud to serve a diverse community and are committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, valued and supported to reach their full potential, both academically and personally.

As part of Hales Valley Trust, we benefit from strong collaboration, shared expertise and a collective commitment to delivering the very best outcomes for all children. Together, we work to ensure success for all through high-quality education, inclusive practice and a shared vision for excellence.

Our value of Care underpins everything we do. We build strong relationships with children, families and staff, creating a nurturing environment where everyone feels respected, supported and able to thrive. Safeguarding and wellbeing are central to our work, ensuring that every child has the confidence to learn and grow.

We encourage our children to Aspire by developing high expectations and fostering a love of learning. Through a rich and engaging curriculum, we inspire pupils to be ambitious, embrace new opportunities and believe in their ability to succeed.

Supporting every child to Achieve is our shared commitment. We celebrate individual strengths and talents, recognising that success looks different for every child. Through excellent teaching, targeted support and a culture of continuous improvement, we ensure that all pupils are equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for the future.

Woodside is proud of its breadth of provision, including our SEND Base, Time for Twos provision, Nursery and mainstream classes. Our inclusive approach ensures that every child receives the support and opportunities they need to flourish and belong within our school community.

This is an exciting time in Woodside's journey. With the support of Hales Valley Trust, dedicated staff, engaged families and enthusiastic learners, we continue to build on our strengths and drive forward our vision for excellence. We are ambitious for our pupils and determined to provide the highest quality education and experiences for every child.
