About The Woodland Academy Trust

About Woodland Academy Trust 


Woodland Academy Trust was formed in September 2011 and consists of 5 primary schools, four of which are located in the London Borough of Bexley and one in Kent.

All our schools share the same mission; ignite the spark, reveal the champion. We are an inclusive and ambitious Trust, striving to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children. Our aim is to provide the highest quality learning experiences for every child by creating an ethical culture of empowerment and growth for all. We believe deeply in the importance of nurturing strong partnerships with our local communities and beyond.  

Our Values
