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.

Updates from our Facebook Page
New Reception parents - the EYFS team have sent out activation emails this week for Tapestry, an online education platform. Thank you to those families who have activated their accounts, we have started to share some information on there, so please check it out! Any issues, please contact Mrs McPartlin h.mcpartlin@greatwood.lancs.sch.uk
Perhaps you can help-they say it takes a community to raise a child. If your children, perhaps older siblings, smell of woodsmoke after being out, ask lots of questions. Or if you see something suspicious, be aware of the dangers and contact the police.
We have evidence of quite a large fire being started in the Great Wood woodland area recently. School premises is private. As a community, we may be able to prevent dangers like this by communicating instead of having to build high expensive fences. We leave the felled wood to encourage wildlife in this nature reserve.
Please don’t discuss this with children putting the idea into their heads.
Why not help find the eye protectors that were given at school to prepare for the eclipse tomorrow.
