  • Student Voice Conference at Co-op HQ

    Published 11/06/22

    Some of our year 4, 5 and 6 pupils were invited to attend the Trust’s pupil voice conference on Friday 10th June.

    The event took place at The Co-op Group headquarters, One Angel Square in Manchester. The day was designed for the children to give their opinions on what schools should prioritise to make them better places and what makes Co-op Academy Woodlands a great place to learn. 

    There was lots of information to take in, with presentations about becoming a Co-op Young Leader, how to help local communities and what makes an effective school council. 

    After a delicious picnic lunch, the children were then presented with some very special gold Co-op badges to thank them for all their hard work. 

    It was a fantastic opportunity for our student pioneers to visit the Co-op HQ to share their thoughts and ideas. The children were great role models and did a wonderful job representing the academy.

    Miss Hobson, Co-op Coordinator

  • Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

    Published 09/06/22

    In May 2022, we mark
    Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! 

    What is the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
    The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is a celebration of the historic 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. This will be the first British Monarch to achieve this amount of service to the country; Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne on 6 February 1952, at just 25 years old. The United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and others around the world are invited to come together to celebrate this momentous occasion.

    When will the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee take place?
    The four-day Platinum Jubilee celebrations will be marked from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June 2022, which is also a UK bank holiday weekend.

    On Friday 27th May, we celebrated in style by dressing up in red, white and blue clothing. We also made lots of tasty treats and got together for a street party! Take a look at what we got up to!

  • Year 2 Visit Fairburn Ings

    Published 30/03/22

    "Nestled between Leeds, York and Wakefield, Fairburn Ings is an exciting site for family activities and wildlife watching. Over the last 60 years it has transitioned from coal face to wild place; an ex-industrial site rich in heritage and an important site for breeding and wintering wildfowl."

    RSPB Fairburn Ings

    On Wednesday 30th March, Year 2 visited Fairburn Ings nature reserve as part of their science unit on Living Things and their Habitats. They took part in a nature walk, looking at lots of different habitats and even spotted a heron! The children also went on a minibeast hunt where they found lots of different insects and amphibians in their natural habitats. 

    Take a look at what they got up to!
