Welcome to our website

On behalf of the Governors, staff and children may I welcome you to our school. Woodlands Park Primary School  is situated on the western edge of Ivybridge and was built in 1991 to serve the new housing estate. We currently have 320 children on roll and a staff team of 50 adults. 

Our website aims to give you helpful information about our aims, general organisation and activities and provide you with an insight into the varied opportunities that are available to the children at Woodlands Park.

Our main aim is to provide high quality of teaching and learning and to improve the enjoyment and education of all the children in our care.

Our friendly staff team is clearly committed to providing a secure and happy environment in which all children are able to thrive socially, emotionally and academically. This is built on the strong relationships fostered by all members of the school community. Our children are highly motivated, well behaved and truly delightful to teach!

When we were last inspected by OFSTED, we were judged as "good" in all the main categories. The inspection report found that 

"Woodlands Park is a good school that serves its community well... The personal development and well being of pupils are good and they achieve well"

As a school community, we have supportive parents and a very active Friends Association who raise approximately £5000 a year for the school. The Friends Association meet regularly as a group to organise fund raising events and last year they created a new South Africa garden, built a cover for the Reception outside play area and provided additional playground resources for the children.

I am always delighted to spend time showing parents and children around our school and to talk about our aims, beliefs and activities. Please feel welcome to visit our school, ask questions and judge for yourself the quality of education on offer here at Woodlands!
