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.

A very special visitor in Year 1! 🐐💛
Today, Ayla and her parents brought in their baby goat, Baby, for the children to meet—and we kid you not, it was the GOAT of classroom visits! 🐐✨
The children loved asking thoughtful questions and learning all about how to care for a young goat. Ayla’s parents shared Baby’s heartwarming story. After being rejected by her mother, Baby was rescued and has been lovingly bottle-fed and cared for at home.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn about kindness, responsibility, and compassion, while discovering what it takes to care for an animal.
A huge thank you to Ayla and her family for sharing Baby with our Year 1 children. It was a truly memorable experience! 💛

What a fabulous day for the beach! Year 6 enjoyed their trip to the beach making memories.
30 letters of persuasion have landed on my desk this afternoon. Beautiful handwriting! The letters explain how everyone has been enjoying watching the progress of the England football team in The World Cup and that it is the semi-final on Wednesday. They then propose that to create a sense of community school allow the children to wear something red and white or if they have it an England shirt on Wednesday.
Even if we win, Thursday will be normal school hours and school uniform - it is Y6's last day. However, as the quality of the letters was so persuasive and there is no harm in it, this Wednesday, July 15th, children can wear school uniform, OR choose to wear something red and white, an England top, (or something red white and blue.) We all want the England football team to play their absolute best on Wednesday evening.
