Ofsted
Woodcroft had a highly successful Ofsted inspection in May 2006. Here is their summary of main findings:
"Woodcroft School is a very good school with some excellent features. The school meets its stated aims and all of the requirements of the regulations. The school's managers are highly innovative and have a clear vision for its future development. This results in excellent care for its pupils and very good provision for their health, safety and well-being. The school provides a broad, highly enriched curriculum, which is suitably matched to pupils' needs and its comprehensive assessments monitor their progress very effectively. Greater use could be made of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance pupils' learning in some areas. Very good teaching ensures that the pupils make good and sometimes very good progress and achieve well. At the heart of the school's work is the promotion of pupils' self-esteem and independence so that they gain in confidence as they increase their skills in language and communication. The school has an extremely well qualified and experienced multi-disciplinary staff team who work hard, know their pupils very well and prepare them well for the next stage of their education. There are strong links with the community and excellent communication with parents and carers who strongly support the school."
