Our Mission

Recognising its historic foundation, Woodborough Wood’s Foundation Church of England (Aided) Primary School will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with St Swithun’s Church and Nottingham and Southwell diocese. The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils.

Our Vision

Woodborough Wood’s Foundation Church of England (Aided) Primary School will ensure every child achieves their best by knowing and valuing each child’s personal strengths and gifts. We will provide all our children with a creative, educational experience of the highest quality within our hope and trust in Christian faith, values and beliefs. We believe in serving the children, parents, carers and community as a committed, harmonious, caring team. We strive to provide an exciting, challenging, broad and balanced curriculum.
