A Woodard Academy reflects the culture and vision of Woodard Schools. We believe that a good education should be a given but in addition each child should be treated as an individual, given opportunities where they can flourish and have the confidence and the tools needed to cope with the demands and responsibilities of adult life.  

Educating 27,000 pupils a year and employing over 2,500 educational colleagues, we have an unrivalled breadth and knowledge in education across both the private and state sectors. We actively welcome students and staff from all faiths or no faith at all, adding to the diversity and rich culture of our school communities.
