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.
π±The EYFS children have been growing pea plants to plant at Bare Lane Station in our Great Wood Primary School bed. Today a group of us went to plant them out with the help of Liz and David Alexander. We had a great time, and saw lots of trains! Please take your child to have a look at them and enjoy eating some of the peas when they appear in the Summer! Thanks to all the EYFS children for growing the plants and also to Liz and David who support us with this every year. π«π ... See MoreSee Less
