Ethos and Values

Woodfield Academy has a strong, passionate ethos centred around the ever present #OneWoodfield. New families and staff are introduced to this on their first visit of the school where a strong belief is instilled that anything is possible when wearing the Woodfield badge. We are pleased to serve a diverse community where it is recognised that once stepping into Woodfield we are all valued as equal. Everyone is required to invest in the shared goal that no matter of culture, religion, race, sexuality, ethnicity or social origin we work together to achieve success in collaboration with the school and wider community. Everyone at Woodfield knows they are cared for in a safe, friendly environment with somebody always available to listen and help. We work hard to make sure that anybody associated with Woodfield Academy feels part of a wider body than just being a school, but a safe, welcoming place where everyone can flourish no matter of their starting point.

Pupils feel that each one of them adds value to Woodfield as we promote ‘Inclusive Attendance’ as a means of involving every pupil in all that we do. This ethos means that pupils will attend more regularly if everything offered to them is of the highest quality. Caring, approachable staff, teaching a strong curriculum in inviting classrooms and a safe environment appeals more to pupils, and with the vast offer of our extra-curricular programme and educational experiences, allows pupils to engage more in the wider aspects of school life.

Values

We have four strong values which are displayed throughout the school and referred to constantly in lessons, assemblies and conversations. Each one has a distinct purpose and make sure that #Onewoodfield has substance.
