Woodbridge High School

Woodbridge High School is a thriving, ethnically diverse and successful comprehensive secondary school that serves its local community in the heart of Woodford. The school is a ten form entry school with 300 students in each year group.

The sixth form of 390 students continues to prosper with the majority of our students staying on after year 11. The teaching staff are all specialists in their separate areas and permanently contracted to the school. Year on year the school attracts a high number of first choice applications, with a record number of first choice places allocated this year. The school has a diverse curriculum that meets the needs of all the students and provides them with a pathway towards their chosen careers. The school is a happy, flourishing and mutually respectful place of learning.

The latest Ofsted report describes it as a place where "students have excellent opportunities to make progress" in a secure and happy environment. Government figures reveal that students at Woodbridge achieve beyond their expected performance levels.

The school has a commitment to high standards and to the success of every student. Our ethos, often called ‘The Woodbridge Way’ is centred on the importance of kindness, tolerance, respect and aiming for excellence. It is reinforced by the school's motto: ‘Pride in Achievement’.

Students at Woodbridge benefit from first class facilities including a new expressive arts building, new fitness suite, an artificial grass pitch, outdoor basketball nets and table-tennis tables, refurbished sports hall, state of the art sound and lighting system in the hall and remodelled library.
