"Pupils' behaviour is characterised by their consideration for others and the positive, lively conversations with each other and staff in their free time. "
“Achievement for All” is our stated aim. We are proud that boys and girls of all abilities make very good progress at Woodham Academy. This is because our highly experienced teachers challenge all students to do their best, all of the time. Lessons are exciting, often using the latest digital media. Teachers at Woodham Academy enjoy working with young people and are committed to doing their very best for them.
Whilst the teaching at Woodham Academy is rapidly gaining a national reputation for innovation, our values are unashamedly old-fashioned. We believe in good behaviour and good manners. Lessons are quiet and orderly so that teachers can teach and students can learn. Our ethos is of unconditional mutual respect.

GCSE Exam Results 2020
It is always a pleasure to attend GCSE results day at Woodham Academy. Standing with so many proud parents and staff as students open their envelopes really is a privilege of my role as Headteacher. This year was very different, due to the considerations of COVID19, but we were determined as a school to ensure that our families didn't miss out on the opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of the entire school community. The last three years at Woodham have culminated in excellent exam results. When the government informed schools to use Centre Assessment Grades (CAGs), we were confident that due to our consistent recent history, the grades we awarded our students were not only accurate, but were a reflection of how they would have done if they had the opportunity to sit the papers. 49% of our students gained a grade 5 in both English and maths, increasing to 71% for grade 4. The high quality of teaching in these areas was confirmed with the cohort also achieving 11 illustrious grade 9s (the top 2 or 3 percent of students nationally achieve this). In total, 33 grades 9's were awarded across the school. This figure reflects the high standards we have now come to expect at Woodham Academy. Successes were clear in every area of the school.
