The governors and senior leaders are pleased to present our long-term strategic plan. Our intention in developing this plan is to set out and communicate our ethos, values, aims and the long-term direction for the school, so our stakeholders are clear on where we are going and what we are aiming to achieve.

This strategic plan was created by the governing body, senior leadership team, and staff representatives.  Representatives from each group attended a bespoke strategic planning day with an external training provider, Head’s Up, where ideas where shaped and refined.

It should be emphasised that our over-arching priority is to ensure each and every pupil attending Woodlane receives an ‘outstanding’ education, both academically and pastorally.  This will remain the most important thing we do!

It is anticipated that our strategic plan will evolve over time as priorities are explored and planned in further detail.  It is complemented by our School Improvement Plan (SIP), which is our annual operational plan.  Our School Improvement Plan is comprehensive and its aim is to tackle small areas for improvement so they do not grow into larger ones.  We are proud of the school’s achievements and think these should be celebrated, however, our philosophy is that we are always learning and will never stop improving, aiming to be even better than ‘outstanding’.

Every year we survey our staff to gain their views on Woodlane High School and our practices.  The senior managers and governors are pleased with this year’s results, however, we aim for 100% in every area next year!
