Welcome

                 Welcome to Woodside Primary School!

for prospectus

We are set in wonderful grounds with views across the Forest of Dean. We are very lucky to have an attractive, well maintained school; we are well resourced and have a very good reputation. We enjoy strong relationships with our families and work in partnership so that children can enjoy their school life. We are federated with Steam Mills Primary School, which means that we share a Governing Body, leadership and excellent practice across the two schools. Steam Mills has recently been inspected by Ofsted and strong leadership and the excellent curriculum shone through. The report can be found here: Ofsted report Steam Mills Primary School Feb 2022. Since September 2022, we have been joined by Soudley Primary School. This is for a year in the first instance with a view to joining our federation. Our school is consistently judged as ‘Good’ and we are proud to be part of this lovely community. We have 101 children on roll (Sept 2021) and have up to 16 part-time pre-schoolers in each session. In pre-school, we have provision for 2 year olds up to when children start in reception, with 31 part-time pre-schoolers altogether. We have caring, skilled and committed members of staff and a vibrant curriculum; everything is in place to make sure your child will thrive during his or her time with us. At Woodside School, we promote British Values and uphold our School Values of determination, respect, friendship, tolerance, self-belief and courage. Please see our Parents’ Info and Curriculum tabs, which have lots of information about our school. Our Newsletters will give you a flavour of recent events.
