“Woodside primary is a school with a big heart in the centre of the community. Pupils relish every day they have at school. They arrive with smiles on their faces and are greeted with a smile in return by staff, who care deeply for each of them as individuals.”

“Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary at all points of the day. They understand how important it is to be kind and respectful and they are. This is modelled for them by staff, who go above and beyond in all aspects of their work.”

“Pupils show excellent attitudes to their learning. The whole school is calm and peaceful, allowing all pupils to work to the best of their ability without disruption.”

“Staff want all pupils to do their best and be their best. These high expectations and ambitions apply for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”

“Pupils are supported well to achieve to the very best of their ability in an environment where everyone is accepted and celebrated.”
