Welcome to #TeamWoodhey!
It is an honour and a privilege to be able to welcome you to our school.
Woodhey High School is an exceptional place to learn and work. We are incredibly proud of both our students and our team of staff, who work together to create exceptional opportunities, build strong relationships and support each other to achieve very well. We are delighted to be a school that consistently performs above the national average in all metrics, whether this be student attainment, attendance, or progression onto appropriate destinations when students leave us, and that we have been recognised for this exceptional work by Ofsted, being graded as Outstanding for Personal Development and Behaviour and Attitudes (2025).
Everything we do at Woodhey is underpinned by our two core values: Respect and Excellence. We believe in the importance of respect for all, regardless of background, and the belief and willingness to strive for excellence to ensure everyone can achieve their very best. We want our students to be able to compete with the elite from across the country and be fully prepared for life after school.
Academic excellence is vital to improving the life chances of our students, and we make no apologies for putting this at the heart of all we do. Students are supported to learn challenging knowledge across a range of subjects that will allow them to achieve academic success. However, we understand that school is about more than just lessons, and work together as a team to make school enjoyable and bring learning to life through trips, visits, guest speakers and extracurricular activities so that students create lasting and fond memories of school life, as well as developing into well-rounded young people.
We have high standards and expectations in all that we do, as we know that it is only with such high standards and expectations that true success can be achieved. We are fortunate to benefit from a supportive community of students, staff and parents and carers who work together to ensure our high standards and expectations are met and provide support where this is needed.
If you are interested in joining us, either as a student or as a colleague, you are joining a school that really is a centre of excellence. We have received numerous national accreditations (see: 'Our Accreditations' page), Ofsted recognition and are consistently outperforming local and national expectations. It is an exciting time to be a part of our school; we really hope you agree!
I hope our website gives you a taste of our school, but nothing can replace seeing us in action. If you would like to visit us to get a better feel of Woodhey, please do not hesitate to contact us, using our contact page.
