Aspiration · Resilience · Opportunity · Excellence
Aspiration, Resilience, Opportunity, Excellence, is our ethos. These four pillars underpin all we do and drive us forward as one learning community.
We have the privilege to be able to teach and learn, as an 11-16 Academy, in a £26 million building. Woodlands School is proud to serve the people of Basildon and we are constantly striving to be better. We are focused on ensuring academic excellence for all our youngsters, allowing them the opportunity to thrive at further and higher education.
On the 7th and 8th of October, our Year 11 pupils participated in mock interviews designed to prepare them for the next stages beyond Woodlands. The interviews helped pupils develop their confidence, communication skills and professionalism. https://t.co/WwykOlerDR
