‘Woodfield academy is a place where our day-to-day mission is to ignite a passion to learn and a desire to succeed in an environment that nurtures all.’
It is a place where learners are taught through our curriculum, to make informed choices and to be responsible for their own actions, through the teaching of four core values; Compassion, Respect, Resilience and Responsibility.
At Woodfield Academy, we believe that the ability to read well is a vital skill for all learning across the curriculum. We aim for all pupils to leave us as fluent, well-informed, and engaged readers, who are well-prepared for their next steps.
Our curriculum is planned around carefully chosen texts which expose pupils to a range of cultures, time periods, vocabulary, and sentence structures. These rich texts enable pupils to develop their reading skills as well as becoming skilled writers themselves.
We aim to develop a love of reading so that our pupils are readers for life. All pupils spend at least an hour every week in our well-resourced library, using our online reading programme, Reading Plus, and reading independently or in small groups. Furthermore, all pupils have the opportunity to be involved in author visits, book clubs and World Book Day activities.
We value speaking and listening skills and promote these through lessons. All our pupils take part in yearly speaking and listening competitions; the topics of which range from performance poetry to giving persuasive speeches.
‘He that loves reading has everything within his reach.’ William Godwin
