Welcome to Great Wood School
We aim to bring learning alive, making it exciting and stimulating. We want to give our children a thirst for learning that continues with them throughout their future school experiences and lives. An essential ingredient for this to happen is teamwork. We view education as a joint venture involving everyone- children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community.
We hope that we will be able to depend on your co-operation and support in this partnership to provide the best for every child.
Yesterday, a group of Key Stage 2 children represented Great Wood at the LHSSN Olympics event at Salt Ayre Leisure Centre. A Year 4 team attended the Playground Games event and our Year 5/6 Girls’ Football team also took part in an event. The Girls’ Football team came 4th in their league with 10 points, played some brilliant football and scored some excellently worked goals. They showed wonderful sporting behaviour and represented both the school and themselves proudly. The Year 4 team drew the attention of the games organisers for their amazing attitude to both the games and the other teams, working together well and showing respect for others. We even got chance to try our hand at some basketball and archery in the drop-in sessions provided. Despite the damp weather, we had a fun day and we are proud of all who attended. Well done, Great Wood! ... See MoreSee Less
