Woodlea Primary School
Woodlea Primary School is a highly regarded and popular school with a family feel. The school enjoys an excellent reputation for its academic standards, behaviour and the enrichment opportunities offered to the children.
Crucial to the success of our school are the positive relationships that exist between staff, children and parents. These relationships are built on trust and respect; they are highly valued and never taken for granted. For it is only by working together, that we can mould our children into confident, mature and articulate young people who are ready for the next stage of their development.
