We have had a fantastic first half-term of the school year, with our children making us so proud each and every day. Thank you to our parents and families for their engagement and support this half-term, and a massive thank you to our staff for their hard work and dedication.

  • We reopen after half-term: Tuesday 7th November, 8:40am

We hope everyone in #TeamWoodlands has a safe and restful half-term. 


Attendance Matters: All day, every day! ✨

Coming to school every day allows your child to get the best possible education. We’ll work with you, to help your child attend as much as they can. We’ve got a great attendance team, so please get in touch if you’re having difficulties.


School Photographer 📸

The School Photographer will be in school on Friday 10th November. Make sure your children are in full school uniform, ready to show off their brightest smiles!

More information will be shared with you after half-term.


Eye Tests and Glasses for Children 👓

Although serious vision problems during childhood are rare, routine eye checks are offered to young children to identify any problems early on. Free NHS sight tests are also available at opticians for children under 16.

The sooner any eye problem is found, the sooner you and your child will be able to get any treatment and support needed. Children may not realise they have a vision problem so, without regular tests, there’s a risk a problem may not be spotted. This may affect their development and education.

If you have any concerns about your child’s vision, please book an appointment with an optician.

Goldwyn Opticians are located on Harehills Lane and larger opticians in the city centre, such as Boots and Vision Express. Where possible, please book appointments outside of school hours.

You can also discuss your concerns with a member of our Pastoral team. Pop in or give us a call.
