We are looking for committed people to join Woodlands School Local Governing Body. The Local Governing Board in our school is made up of parent/carers, staff and co-opted governors and operates at a strategic level.
Governors need not be experts in the field of education. What they do need is an interest in the school and the welfare of its pupils, together with time and willingness to get involved.
If you would like to find out more about how you can contribute to governance at our school, please see attached document.
Information about the School
Aspiration, Resilience, Opportunity, Excellence, is our ethos. These four pillars underpin all we do and drive us forward as one inclusive learning community.
We have the privilege to be able to teach and learn, as an 11-16 Academy, in a £26 million building. Woodlands School is proud to serve the people of Basildon and we are constantly striving to be better. We are focused on ensuring academic excellence for all our youngsters, allowing them the opportunity to thrive at further and higher education.
We encourage all of our youngsters to have the highest of aspirations and look to equip them with all the tools they need to become even more resilient. We offer the widest opportunities to ensure excellence becomes a habit.
Our expectation is that all at Woodlands School work hard and are self-motivated. All are to lead their own learning, be polite and respectful. Our boundaries are clear and they support all in ensuring they can maintain the highest standards.
We will provide a wealth of opportunities to learn in and beyond the classroom. Adding cultural capital and ensuring experiences develop the whole child.
