"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.
I hope that our website will answer any questions you have. What it cannot do is to give you a real sense of the warm, friendly and caring atmosphere at Woodham Academy. The only way to experience this is to come and visit us. We look forward to welcoming you.
GCSE Exam Results 2021
GCSE results over the last few years have been a particular strength of Woodham Academy and this year has been no exception for our students. Students have built on the successes of previous years’ results with over a staggering 100 grade 9s between them! Matching the last examined cohort, over 50% of students left with a grade 5 or above in English and Maths securing them places at sixth form, colleges and numerous apprenticeships. Mr Bell, Headteacher, commented “It has been an incredibly challenging time for young people across the country so we could not be more proud of our students who have shown the determination and resilience to achieve above and beyond in such a difficult time. Since the students started at Woodham Academy in year 7, they have shown grit and determination, qualities we nurture in our students and they promised to be the most successful cohort of students in recent years. It is such a shame that they didn’t have the opportunity to sit their exams. Despite this, students still achieved over 400 Grade 7+ (A*-A) with a record number of students achieving grade 9s in History, Sport and Engineering. These results are inline with results over the last five years at Woodham Academy and reflect the improvements made across the school in recent years."
