Update from Mrs Clark
Published 14/09/23Dear Parents and Carers,
We are aware of the situation about threatening emails being sent to some schools in the south of Leeds, which have been shared on Leeds Live and Yapp App.
This isn’t something that is affecting our school, and given the difference in location we don’t expect it to. We are monitoring, as we would on any given day and will contact parents if the situation changes.
Children are currently having a normal productive school day, and are safe in our school.
Many thanks,
Mrs Clark

Woodlands Weekly 8th September 2023
Published 06/09/23Welcome back!
What a fantastic first few days we've had to start the new school year! It's been wonderful to see so many children back in school and settling in to their new classes, getting to know their teachers and starting their learning. Our children have shown respect and incredible engagement - keep it up #TeamWoodlands!
We've also been blown away by how smart children have looked in their school uniforms, and the number of children and families coming to school on time has been amazing. Well done!
We've introduced our new behaviour expectations, and we are hoping to share these with you soon.
As we start a new school year, please remember:
- Children should be in school every day, on time, unless they are unwell
- Children should wear smart school uniform every day
- On PE days, children can come to school in their PE kits
- Children should bring their reading book and book bag to school every day, and read at home every day too
- Dinner money should be paid to the main school office
Reach out
If you have any questions as your child settles into their new year group, please speak to a member of our staff team on the doors, or give us a call.

Woodlands Weekly | Friday 21st July
Published 19/07/23Thank you!
We have had a fantastic year at Woodlands. It has been great to have so many parents join us for a range of events in school. We’ve also welcomed lots of visitors into school who are always so complementary about our children. This year, our classes have been on lots of visits and experiences to enhance their learning, making memories that will last a lifetime.
I’d like to thank you, our parents and carers, for your support this year, coming into school and taking part in events and sharing your children successes with us.
Thank you to our teachers and staff for their hard work and dedication, making a real difference for our children every day.
We’d like to wish our Year 6 children the best of luck as they move on to high school. Be yourselves and come back to visit us soon!
Have a wonderful, safe summer break. See you back in the academy in September.

Published 30/06/23Sleeping and bed times
Sleep is really important in keeping us physically and mentally healthy. When we sleep, our bodies and minds have the time to rest, recover and process all the things which have happened to us during the day.
When we’re young, our bodies are growing and changing quickly, so we need even more sleep than adults to be able to cope with everything that’s happening.
Everybody is different, but it’s generally recommended that children and young people get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep every night.
While we understand children will want to play outside later as the summer nights are here, your children should be at home and settled by 7pm so that you can ensure your children have a decent night’s rest.
You can find out more about sleeping and bedtimes here.
