Welcome to Woodmansterne School
Woodmansterne is a unique school. Our through school ethos, built on primary foundations of understanding and developing the whole child, provides a personalised route that allows all our students to aspire to be their very best version of themselves. From an early age we model and instil in our young people the core values we hold as a community. Wherever their talents and interests lie we are with them, in unity, on their journey to adulthood. We recognise that by this stage; our presence and role is to facilitate and guide our young people to be responsible for their own destiny. At Woodmansterne Sixth Form we continue our commitment to building cultural capital and a love of learning where students thrive by enriching our students’ learning/curriculum through experiences like theatre, film, museum visits, competition and guest speakers, field trips, work placements, career fayres, university trips and talks. Woodmansterne students have a heightened awareness of social justice and responsibility, early on in their school life they are expected to role model integrity and respect to the younger children and their peers. By taking on leadership roles, acting as mentors, reading and maths buddies and prefects, they realise the benefits of working cooperatively and see the impact of upholding and demonstrating our values on a daily basis. This is the Woody factor that will stand them apart, so when they leave our educational establishment, they do so as confident, accomplished young people, excited and ready to move on/take their next steps/ play their part in society.Sam PalinExecutive Headteacher
