Woodcote House has been in the Paterson family since 1931, although the school’s history dates back to 1816. We believe the guiding principles upon which we run our school are fundamental to the longevity and popularity of Woodcote. For Woodcote House, being small is one of our strengths. It allows us to operate as one large family, getting on with life and with each other. The school’s motto is ‘Live to Learn and Learn to Live’ and this is something that the whole school puts into practice. We also believe it is important to generate and sustain self-confidence in each individual in our care and to foster an atmosphere of mutual tolerance, respect, and good manners. Our teaching and pastoral staff know the boys as individuals and take a genuine interest in their welfare. The average class size is kept to just 10-12 boys ensuring that boys receive individual attention and class discipline is always maintained. Small classes also give all the boys the chance to contribute to lessons – enabling them to listen and to be listened to. A boarding school that is effectively ‘in loco parents must set clear and appropriate boundaries of behavior. With many years of experience on the staff, we know almost instinctively when boys are happy and therefore achieve. Above all, Woodcote House is a friendly school and we encourage good, clear lines of communication between staff, pupils, and the school and its parents. Every boy is important at Woodcote – indeed every leaver’s photograph is on permanent display. Located on the former London to Portsmouth Road, Woodcote House’s main school building was originally a Coaching Inn, almost certainly called The Pelican. It is believed that Snows Ride, off which the school is sited, was the favorite haunt of the infamous Captain Snow who, possibly in league with the innkeeper of The Pelican, made 18th century commuting extremely hazardous. Following the battle of Waterloo, the building housed a small Gentlemen’s Academy, the purpose of which was to prepare around 20 young men for the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. The school still has some toy muskets used for arms drills. In 1854 a boys’ boarding school was founded. The Paterson family bought the school in 1931 and with the help of a significant bonus from the wartime government for “staying put” during the Blitz, the school was expanded. The school marked its 150th anniversary in 2004. We may never know quite what dastardly deeds took place down in the school’s White Cellar in Captain Snow’s time… it is currently the haunt of the school’s Warhammer Club. View full school

As a fully comprehensive school, we are very much the school of choice for students in Coulsdon, Woodcote, and Purley and we are regularly up to five times oversubscribed. We enjoy the confidence of parents because we are a continually improving school with results way above the national average, and are in the top 10% of schools in England for student progress. Students feel safe and happy at Woodcote and the school is a community resource used by many community organizations. Our Fitness Suite is open to members of the public. We are a non-selective school that both serves the local community and has the faith of the local community, a classic example of the good local school that all parents should have a right to send their children to. We aim to give our students seven years of world-class education and equip them for the wider world of higher education and exciting job opportunities.No one is saying that this is an easy journey, from time to time things go wrong. However, if parents work with us, support what the school stands for, and stay a part of that essential team of school–parent-student, then we will all continue to grow in success. With well over 1200 students, we are a large institution and we have a responsibility for many future lives. A school of this size can’t operate successfully without excellent staff, both teachers and colleagues who support the teaching and learning in school. It has always been our priority to recruit the best people possible, colleagues committed to ensuring that every student, no matter what their ability, achieves the very best they can in years to come. The vision of education at Woodcote includes the key element of 'ability, so therefore the school is extremely focussed on providing a broad and extensive program of learning beyond the school's curriculum hours. All departments offer opportunities for every pupil to access within the school year. The provision is often directed towards an external focus, allowing the pupils to test themselves against their peers or in new and challenging environments. The breadth of our extracurricular offer is a major stimulus to our pupil's achievement and impacts directly onto their love of learning and self-development. View full school

It aims to provide each pupil with the essential intellectual skills needed for later study, including the ability to think critically and logically, whilst still capturing the imagination and allowing for a diversity of interests. All academic subjects are important and help to develop different areas of the brain, for example, English develops the ability to use language precisely and creatively, whilst history and social sciences require that pupils can research and then construct clear, logical arguments based on their findings. In the creative arts, pupils are given extensive opportunities to create their direction. STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are exceptionally strong at Woodbridge, these subjects are important as they will allow pupils to fully embrace the ongoing technological revolution. Art also features strongly, with lessons that inspire pupils to think originally and creatively. The strong encouragement to learn languages is reflected in the availability of French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese. The FitzGerald Society, our Junior Oxbridge Programme, is aimed at high-fliers in Years 10-11 with a zest for knowledge and exploration. The program includes a mixture of major events and subsidiary activities. Big events include a moot (mock law trial), where pupils will study evidence, create their cases, and bring them to court. Trips include the Bawdsey Radar exhibition or Bletchley Park. We shall also be taking part in the Alan Turing Cryptography Competition (run by Manchester University). Subsidiary activities will include exploring logic problems set by GCHQ. A learning support scheme helps pupils across the academic spectrum – from those who are highly gifted to those who need extra assistance in class. Our well-proven tutor system identifies each pupil’s aptitudes and abilities, encouraging them to make the most of the opportunities offered. View full school

The report states that: “The Leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school”, “pupils’ outcomes are improving”, enrichment activities are well organized and pay attention to pupils’ needs”, “progress in the sixth form was strong” and “the school community is a harmonious environment”. Students, parents, the governing body, and staff have very good reason to reflect happily on our achievements.

Our ambition is to provide the best possible primary education in stimulating and creative environments. We want to develop a passion for learning, inspired by high-quality teaching, developing and building upon individual strengths and talents. We expect all children in our schools to reach age-related levels, in line with national expectations, as a minimum, and we aim to ensure that the barriers to learning are removed so that every pupil in all of our schools reaches their full potential. Our leadership structure aims to make the most of our shared resources, maintain high expectations, and secure high standards.

This will be achieved by engaging in learning opportunities that develop, stretch and excite the imagination. We consistently perform at a level higher than that of other schools in the borough. Please see the tables for analysis of our results for the last academic year. A progress score is determined by comparing the KS2 outcome of a pupil at a school with the KS2 outcome of other pupils nationally who the same results as that pupil in KS1. Average Progress Scores are an average of the progress scores for each pupil in KS2. A positive score means that children in that school, on average, made greater progress than those children nationally who had similar prior attainment when they were in KS1.In all our schools the progress score is positive. This means the New Wave pupils, on average, make more progress than their peers nationally (with similar prior attainment). Many of our children join Woodberry Down in the Nursery, aged three.

Wood End Park is rapidly improving with pupils making impressive progress in their learning. We offer a wide range of after-school clubs to further extend the skills of our pupils. Saturday classes are popular, with many Year Six children attending booster lessons and an extra sports session each week. We are proud of our partnership working with parents and carers. We offer a wide range of opportunities so that families can come into the academy to see our work. These community events include festival assemblies, curriculum-linked workshops, and special-themed exhibitions. As an academy in The Park Federation Academy Trust, we benefit from the capacity and resources of the Trust, particularly our partnership working with Cranford Park, James Elliman, Lake Farm Academy, Montem Academy, The Godolphin Junior Academy, and Western House Academy. We are five forms of entry in our year groups so that more local children can benefit from the effective education and care we offer. In addition, we hope to open our very own nursery in the next two years. So Wood End Park Academy is a vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive place with plenty of ambition and many exciting plans for the future. Within school, children are actively encouraged to make decisions and choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school, we educate and provide boundaries for young children to take risks and make choices safely. Children are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our Behaviour Policy, E-Safety, and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of learning challenge, how they record their learning, participation in one of our extra-curricular clubs, and opportunities, children are given the freedom to make choices and make decisions. At Wood End Park Academy (WEPA), we aim to translate the vision of The Park Federation Trust so it is a reality for our families. We firmly believe that we are here to serve our community and try hard to offer the very best that we can. We believe in Lifelong Learning. We wish for our pupils to attend our Academy every single day (or as much as possible) to access a high-quality curriculum. We offer a curriculum that is broad and balanced so pupils of differing talents have a chance to exceed in their area. We note pupils with talents in specific areas to ensure they are accessing higher levels of skill and opportunities e.g. Computing Enrichment Classes. We use specialist Teachers as much as we can to support the quality of teaching across the curriculum and currently have Music, Computing, and PE (Physical Education) specialists in the Academy. At Wood End Park Academy, we firmly believe that each child needs to decide on their choices for behavior and this includes the words they choose to use to resolve conflict or disagreements they may face. We are clear that we do not tolerate any rudeness or intolerance. These are not ways we resolve differences at Wood End Park Academy. Pupils know that we are in a multi-cultural community and differences are to be celebrated. Any remarks related to a child’s race, color or faith are promptly and firmly dealt with. Parents are told of any incidents that involve their children. View full school

The children are also able to play on the large playing field. There is a separate playground for Reception classes, with a plethora of activities for the children to engage in. There are 2 large canopies in the playground so that outdoor learning and play can take place throughout the year. Our Nursery accommodates 100 children across 2 sessions (morning or afternoon) and is situated within the main building of the school. There is a separate entrance to the Nursery, but the children utilize all of the facilities that we have within the school. In addition, there is large outdoor learning and play area which is covered by canopies, allowing the outside space to be used all year round. We provide a curriculum that is broad and balanced, offering a range of experiences that are relevant to the children’s present and future interests and needs.

We are proud of our positive ethos within the school where all children and staff feel part of a caring learning community. Our teaching is stimulating and creative and encourages our children to continue their education outside of school and become lifelong learners. We want to ignite an interest in the world around them, and for that interest to lead fulfilling and imaginative lives. Learning should be fun! Whilst academic achievements are an important part of life at our school, all our children also have the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of sporting and musical opportunities, as well as regular trips and residential visits. Our pastoral care is exceptional, ensuring all children are kept safe and are supported both inside and outside school. Another very important part of our school is you, the parent! We champion the link between school, and parents and work very hard to involve you in every step of your child's time here...and increase your child's enjoyment of learning. Strong family support such as this is fundamental to giving children a stepping stone to the future. Wood End Academy aims to be a school of quality in which all children can develop their full potential, gain a sense of self-worth and prepare for adult life in a happy, secure and caring environment. We shall achieve this by: Helping the children develop lively, enquiring minds with which they can acquire the knowledge and skills needed throughout their adult lives Providing access to education and equal opportunities for all our children Promoting healthy lifestyles by providing a wide range of cultural and sporting activities Developing the self-discipline and acceptable behavior needed to become an active, contributing member of the community Helping the children to understand their responsibilities as citizens in a rapidly changing world Promoting understanding and respect for the religions and ways of life of others Having a well qualified, experienced, happy, and caring staff who work together as a team to achieve our aims The curriculum is organized in line with the Key Stages of the National Curriculum in which children from seven to eleven years of age follow the Programmes of Study for Key Stage 2. Children who have a good primary education are more likely to succeed in their secondary education. We understand a good primary education to be one that gives our children a thorough grounding in the basics within a broad, balanced, and motivating curriculum. Each subject in the curriculum is planned separately, but we have organized our program creatively so that the topics studied link in and complement each other wherever possible. Additionally, throughout the year we plan special focus weeks which give children an opportunity to study a subject in greater depth. Maths is a key area of the curriculum. The approach at Wood End is to encourage pupils to attain a solid understanding of the basics of mathematics so they may have the confidence to work independently. We want the children to be able to apply their knowledge in everyday situations and to realize that Maths is not only useful but fun too! Wood End is well resourced and practical equipment is available in every class. There is also a wide variety of software packages in regular use. The children are tested regularly to check they have learned the work and there are more formal tests at the end of each year to measure progress. You can help your child by making sure that they learn their multiplication tables. The children are grouped according to ability in YR5 and YR6. We recognize the central importance of English in the curriculum. We firmly believe that it is the right of every child to be literate and articulate and that it is our responsibility, along with parents, to ensure all our children leave Wood End Academy with the language skills they will need to make the most of their time at High School and in the wider world. English is taught both as a separate subject and in the context of all other areas of the curriculum. Throughout the school, the emphasis is on making sure that the children can read at an appropriate level, that they are aware of spelling patterns, and are developing their creative writing and verbal expression.

Wolfson Hillel Primary School Originally opened in 1992, we are a two-form entry voluntary aided Jewish nursery and primary school with a maximum pupil roll of 480. At Wolfson Hillel, we aim to help our pupils develop their ‘Jewish Identity by fostering opportunities for them to engage in Jewish learning, traditions, and culture. Our pupils have many opportunities to learn about Israel and its religion and much of this is done experientially. We aim to educate the whole child academically, socially, and physically. Emphasis is placed on identifying each child’s successes and areas for development to enable them to make progress. Our pupils learn to be good citizens - aware of their roles in their communities, in society, and the wider world. Our physical education program has developed significantly over the past several years to ensure our pupils learn a range of skills and have opportunities to develop their abilities in a range of team sports and clubs. Our curriculum concentrates on the skills young people will need in the 21st century - linguistic, scientific, mathematical, technological, and problem-solving. We are aware of the ever-evolving world of technology with which our children engage and plan provision that aims to support this great need. We also provide opportunities for children to develop through the expressive subjects of music, art, and drama. We promote the values, knowledge, and skills that will enrich their Jewish lives and help them to become responsible members of society. National Curriculum test results show our continued academic success. The Hillel school curriculum is integrated into everything we do at Hillel. Its roots lie in ensuring that children enjoy their time at school, take active responsibility for and pride in their learning in the classroom and play well and have fun in the playground. Through three aspects –Myself, My Relationships, and My Learning – teachers give children opportunities to actively develop these skills. As a Modern Orthodox Jewish School, we place a great emphasis on promoting diversity with the children. Our Hillel Curriculum, Jewish Studies, PSHE, and Topics reinforce this. Assemblies are regularly planned to address diversity and key events in other religious calendars. This is either directly or through the inclusion of stories and celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. We are also part of school clusters that represent all faiths and inter-school working is promoted where possible. In addition via our Topics, we teach about democracy, civic responsibility, rules and laws, the monarchy, equality, values and virtues, environmental awareness, and action to care for and protect our local and wider world environment via energy conservation for example, and that respect for other faiths and all people is fundamental to our beliefs.
