  • Woodlands Weekly | 27th October 2023

    Published 26/10/23

    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.

    Upcoming key dates 📅

    • We close for half-term: Friday 27th October, 3:15pm
    • We are closed for a training day: Monday 6th November
    • 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.

  • Update from Mrs Clark

    Published 14/09/23

    Dear Parents and Carers, 

    We are aware of the situation about threatening emails being sent to some schools in the south of Leeds, which have been shared on Leeds Live and Yapp App.

    This isn’t something that is affecting our school, and given the difference in location we don’t expect it to. We are monitoring, as we would on any given day and will contact parents if the situation changes. 

    Children are currently having a normal productive school day, and are safe in our school. 

    Many thanks,

    Mrs Clark

    Welcome back!

    What a fantastic first few days we've had to start the new school year! It's been wonderful to see so many children back in school and settling in to their new classes, getting to know their teachers and starting their learning. Our children have shown respect and incredible engagement - keep it up #TeamWoodlands!

    We've also been blown away by how smart children have looked in their school uniforms, and the number of children and families coming to school on time has been amazing. Well done!

    We've introduced our new behaviour expectations, and we are hoping to share these with you soon. 

    As we start a new school year, please remember:

    • Children should be in school every day, on time, unless they are unwell
    • Children should wear smart school uniform every day
    • On PE days, children can come to school in their PE kits
    • Children should bring their reading book and book bag to school every day, and read at home every day too
    • Dinner money should be paid to the main school office

    Reach out

    If you have any questions as your child settles into their new year group, please speak to a member of our staff team on the doors, or give us a call.

    Thank you!

    We have had a fantastic year at Woodlands. It has been great to have so many parents join us for a range of events in school. We’ve also welcomed lots of visitors into school who are always so complementary about our children. This year, our classes have been on lots of visits and experiences to enhance their learning, making memories that will last a lifetime.

    I’d like to thank you, our parents and carers, for your support this year, coming into school and taking part in events and sharing your children successes with us.

    Thank you to our teachers and staff for their hard work and dedication, making a real difference for our children every day.

    We’d like to wish our Year 6 children the best of luck as they move on to high school. Be yourselves and come back to visit us soon!

    Have a wonderful, safe summer break. See you back in the academy in September.

    Mrs Clark
    Headteacher
