Headteacher’s Welcome
We are a school that likes to celebrate success – at every level. The life of the school is driven by enthusiasm and a desire to achieve.
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.
John Ross (Headteacher)

His target for 2025 was to medal at the English National Championships and his long term goal to represent his country in a European Event! Well he achieved both ~ a silver medal in the Nationals and now has been selected as one of a team of 3 boys in U11 to compete in France at the end of August in the EuroMinis - the European Championships for ages U11 & U13. This is a massive honour and a testament to how hard he has worked in his time at Great Wood on his sport. He has now almost 2 months of training, some at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield with his England Squad and his clubs he regularly trains at, to get in top conditions and form for Eurominis.![]()
