Woodside Primary School

We are delighted to share our Ofsted Inspection Report confirming we remain a good school where "children are inspired to love learning"! We are proud of our whole school community for their hard work, effort and dedication woodside.croydon.sch.uk/attachments/do… @IPAT_Edu @carpenter_rob

We held our schools first ever Iftar Community event. It was lovely to see a range of families come together to break fast and be together no matter their religion. Thank you to all those who came and contributed. Happy Ramadan to all. @IPAT_Edu

We are proud to have been recognised by @bphillipsonMP for our strong outcomes for disadvantaged children at Woodside last academic year. A true collaborative effort in order to give our children the best possible opportunity to succeed @IPAT_Edu

We hosted our year 1-3 Winter Warmer yesterday, which was full of hot chocolate, reading and a sing along at the end. A great turnout for a cosy night in. We especially loved reading stories out loud for everyone. Don't forget, years 4-6 is on Thursday @IPAT_Edu

We loved hosting our first Parents in to Read session, starting with Year 1. Lovely to see our parents in classrooms, spending time with their children and promoting a love for reading! @IPAT_Edu

Miss Islam "graduated" yesterday, passing her ECT years. We are incredibly proud of her and all she has accomplished. We can't wait to see what the future holds for her!

I've written my first blog about my first 2 years of headship. It's good to reflect, not only celebrate wins, but to plan our way forward. I hope this allows people to positively reflect on their leadership journeys in school and their key drivers #edutwitter #leadership #schools

A time to reflect on our 2 year journey so far and a continued drive to keep on going. As we keep moving forward, the 5 drivers will continue to push us and improve for our whole community.

School leaders! What are the five drivers for school transformation? Our @IPAT_Edu school leader @ImanAtwal has shared the five he used @PrimaryWoodside in a new blog inspirepartnership.my.canva.site/the-five-drive… @carpenter_rob

Our very own Miss Jackson @missjacksoneyfs was interviewed by @SkyNews about the current Early Years Education and the attainment gap reported by the EPI and some of the reasons behind this. news.sky.com/story/crisis-i… @IPAT_Edu

The new Early Years strategy has been published by @educationgovuk - gov.uk/government/pub… @IPAT_Edu CEO @carpenter_rob, RISE advisor for London Region, working on the reception strand, shares his thoughts on the shift in emphasis & opportunities here: inspirepartnership.my.canva.site/rob-carpenter-…

This week, Year 5 took part in the annual Sports Day. The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and gave their best effort in every event. A big thank you to all the parents and carers who came along—your support truly helped make the day special. @IPAT_Edu @PrimaryWoodside

We were delighted to welcome the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP to our Rochester school @PrimaryElaine. Rachel enjoyed a school lunch, gave pupils an opportunity to interview her and spoke about her policy to extend eligibility for free school meals. Thanks for the visit!

It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to meet one of the most influential people in the country & to make real life connections with the British value of democracy; a topic that we discuss so often. (2/2) @IPAT_Edu

In Art, the children have been exploring some different types of printing - with blocks, stencils and masking. Making each of the elements needed for printing, the children created geometric shapes to match the style of Esther Mahlangu. @IPAT_Edu @PrimaryWoodside

In Art, the children have been introduced to a new artist - Esther Mahlangu, a South African artist known for her bold, geometric designs. They explored her life, her cultural influences, and the traditional patterns she uses in her vibrant artwork. @IPAT_Edu @PrimaryWoodside

Our KS1 team and Y6 children selling cakes to help raise funds for our Y1 school trip. #Collaboration #Fundraising @IPAT_Edu

As part of D&T Food Week, the children have been busy making pizza! They started by investigating the origins of pizza in Italy and then moved on to writing their own recipes for the perfect pizza dough, finishing the week branding their own pizza box. @IPAT_Edu @PrimaryWoodside

What a lovely way to end the term. A Steel Pans performance by our Year 6 Band. They performed for KS1, KS2 and then our parents after school @IPAT_Edu

In DT, the children worked in groups to construct their final wind turbines. Throughout the process, they took time to evaluate and refine their designs, successfully overcoming any challenges that arose along the way. @PrimaryWoodside @IPAT_Edu

@BeryceNixon @IPAT_Edu @carpenter_rob Thank you!
