We are very much looking forward to the new term and working in collaboration with students. Central to our working ethos is the success of every student in the school and for us, this means a high-quality learning experience in every classroom and excellent behavior at all times. Our collaborative practice continues to be key to the school’s development and our work within the local community. The school recognizes the importance of providing a needs-led, personalized curriculum for all our students. The school has addressed secondary curriculum changes and determined that lessons should seek to emphasize the development of Personal, Learning, Thinking, and Enterprise Skills (PLTES) and Functional Skills at all possible opportunities. Students in Key Stage 3, Years 7 and 8, follow the National Curriculum, working in either set or mixed ability groups. From September 2017, Year 9 students will follow a three-year Key Stage 4 course leading to GCSE examinations, or alternative accreditation, including BTEC, GNVQ, and NVQ courses. Woodside High School also offers a work experience placement for all those in Key Stage 4 to help prepare them for life beyond school and to aid in their prospective career choices. A Healthy School is one that actively seeks to promote and improve the health and well-being of the whole school community. We are delighted to have received the Silver Healthy Schools Award and are well on our way to achieving Gold. Woodside High School demonstrates a clear commitment to the promotion of diversity and equality. Woodside High School aims to create a fair and just school community that promotes social inclusion, community cohesion, and equality that respects diversity and which challenges and acts upon all forms of discrimination and inequality, including bullying. Woodside High School works actively to celebrate differences and challenge racism, sexism, homophobia, and all other forms of prejudice. The school takes positive action to promote racial harmony and to promote positive attitudes towards life in a multicultural and multi-ethnic and multi-faith school, through assemblies, the curriculum, and special projects throughout the year. There is a continuous focus to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to achieve to the best of their ability regardless of their gender, ethnic or racial background, religion, ability, or sexuality. We actively promote the British Values of tolerance, fairness, respect for other faiths, and the rule of law and democracy.

Woodside Primary Academy, where our priority is the well-being and progress of every child. We have worked hard to develop an atmosphere of trust, happiness, and achievement here at the school, to ensure that your child feels cared for and supported on their educational journey. Ofsted recognizes the excellent work in the areas above and has graded us as Outstanding in all areas of education (July 2016). Developing young people who hold respect for the world and people around them is central to our vocation at Woodside. We want our pupils to leave Woodside embracing the core values that are linked to a successful life, both in terms of developing and achieving personal goals as well as the ability to positively contribute to the world at large. We issue all new parents with a home school agreement to reflect these life values. Parents, pupils, governors, and staff have all contributed to their respective sections of the agreement. This has now been signed by every pupil, parent, staff member, and the Chair of Governors. From now on, the form will be signed by all new Woodside pupils. This agreement forms the heart of our school community! It symbolizes us all coming together as one to support our children in their journey towards becoming successful young adults. Since our Ofsted Inspection, we have worked hard to ensure we further develop exciting opportunities for all pupils. We now have our Friday afternoon sessions, where every pupil has a term of enrichment experiences. These include rock climbing, fencing, photography, cooking, gardening, drone flying, and our Community Support programs where pupils go out and spend inter-generational afternoons with our vulnerable elderly people in their care home. We have also opened our state-of-the-art Enrichment Centre in January. It hosts cooking facilities for an entire class. Every pupil will cook six times per year, using the recipes designed with Executive Chef (The Ivy) Gary Lee. Our Science Laboratory can cater to 60 pupils and forms part of our high-quality science provision. The new computing suite has an animation and recording studio, film equipment, and drone flying capacity. View full school

Woodside Priory School was founded in 1957 by a group of seven Hungarian Benedictine monks from Saint Martin's Archabbey in Pannonhalma, Hungary. Since 1974, the monks have been affiliated with Saint Anselm Abbey in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The School began as an 18-acre ranch and over the years has expanded significantly, with the campus now encompassing 51 acres. Initially, the School was an all-male boarding school, but over the years, the ratio of boarders to day students has changed to the point where today the boarding school accounts for approximately 20% of the student body. In the early 1990s, the School began admitting females to their day program, with the first co-ed class graduating in 1995. In 2004, the School expanded its boarding program to include females. Priory the only Benedictine College Preparatory school in California! Many successful people remember a time in their teenage years when an inspiring teacher, an exciting class, or an unforgettable experience made a positive difference in their lives. We think students need many of these special moments. We have thought long and hard about how to create them. An outstanding faculty and a rigorous college-prep curriculum are essential. So is the Benedictine vision of a learning community where members support one another. An upbeat campus atmosphere and the broad co-curricular program also set the stage for a balanced educational adventure. With our roots in the 1,500-year-old Catholic Benedictine education tradition, we do much more than provide an outstanding college preparatory education. We welcome young people into a community where they feel uniquely known and loved. Priory students feel free to take intellectual and creative risks, discover their passions, and grow in heart, mind, and soul. St. Benedict advised us to "listen with the ear of our hearts." As a community of educators, we continually reflect on our practices, seek out cutting-edge educational thinking, and embrace better ways to meet our students' needs. Firmly grounded in our core Benedictine values of individuality, community, integrity, hospitality, and spirituality, we face the changing demands of the 21st century with confidence and innovation. Even our campus reflects our values. Ancient redwood trees stand alongside a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center. Our monks stroll along a trail past a vast array of solar panels. In cozy outdoor plazas, teachers and students laugh and talk together. Woodside Priory School is a Catholic Benedictine, independent college preparatory school. Our mission is to help all students create meaningful and balanced lives, develop as lifelong learners and stewards, and productively serve a world in need of their gifts. Academic rigor is part of life at Priory. Our students graduate fully prepared to enter the most selective colleges and universities. Even more important, they leave full of excitement, self-knowledge, and a passion for continuous learning. Middle and Upper School teachers are experts in their fields of study, most with advanced degrees, who love their subject matter and care deeply about students. Our classes are intentionally small—an average of twelve— and last between an hour and an hour and fifteen minutes, allowing students and teachers to engage deeply in intellectual discourse, critical thinking, and problem-solving. From sixth through tenth grades, core English, science, math, social science, theology, and world languages provide a solid foundation, while electives allow students to explore the arts. By the time they are juniors and seniors, students design much of their course of study based on their interests and passions, choosing from twenty-two Advanced Placement classes and a wide array of electives, culminating in the self-directed Senior Project. As educators, we understand that learners have different needs at different times. Whether it is adding three years of coursework beyond Calculus BC to challenge our most advanced math students adequately or offering study skills support at the Academic Resource Center, we are there for all our students throughout their academic journey at Priory.
