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.

Great Wood classes have been helping each other grow quite literally this week. 1LO have been potting on 6P’s courgettes and squashes into larger pots to get them a bit further on before they are big and tough enough to be planted out in the raised beds. They’ll hopefully be ready for Autumn when our new starters will be making Autumn vegetables soups. 1LO have also been potting up small foxgloves and verbascums which provide fantastic food for our resident pollinators in the years to come. Fingers crossed for some warm sunny weather to help them grow!
4H learned that sound travels through solids by particles bumping into one another. Using string telephones they investigated how the length of string or its tautness affected this process. They collaborated, discussed and questioned their results. Well done all, wonderful work! 🤩
Yesterday, 4F joined 4H for a great walk up Arnside Knott, a day of breezy squalls and sunny spells, investigating local landmarks on an O.S. map and viewing the Kent Estuary and Morecambe Bay from a different perspective. Well done, you valiant hill walkers!
