"Wood End Park Academy is in the heart of Hayes and part of multi academy Trust.

We are proud of the academy’s warm and welcoming atmosphere, and its passionate commitment to academic excellence and care. We are constantly striving to offer our pupils the very best, not only in our educational offer but in development of life skills to prepare them for a successful and happy future.

We serve families from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds and are proud of the diversity in our academy, holding many celebratory events that mark festivals and inclusivity.

Wood End Park Academy is an excellent place for children with pupils making impressive progress in their learning. We offer a wide range of after school clubs to further extend the skills of our pupils. Saturday classes are also popular with many where pupils can engage in additional learning , sports or computing development.

We are proud of our partnership working with parents and carers. We offer a wide range of opportunities so that families are able to come into the academy to see our work. These community events include festival assemblies, curriculum-linked workshops, and special themed exhibitions.

As an academy in The Park Federation Academy Trust, we benefit from the capacity and resources of the Trust, particularly our partnership working with Cranford Park, James Elliman, Lake Farm Park, Montem, Godolphin Junior, West Drayton and Western House Academies.

We are five forms of entry in our year groups so that more local children can benefit from the effective education and care we offer. In addition, we have a nursery where pupils learn ready for Reception.

Wood End Park Academy is a vibrant, welcoming and inclusive place with plenty of ambition and many exciting plans for the future. Pupils are well looked after and are encouraged to take up a pupil leadership role so there is true partnership work in the direction we take."

What is the Federation's Vision?

The Park Federation

The Number One School of Choice for Local Families

Our schools are safe, happy places where creativity is prized. We value and nurture excellent behaviour, determination and ambitious academic standards. Professionalism, humility and service to the community guide everything we do.

Please join us in making our federation a springboard to success!

Dr. Martin Young, Chief Executive

"The Park Federation is a community-focused multi-academy trust specialising in primary education. Our mission is to provide first-rate learning in an atmosphere of kindness, care and creativity. We are one of the longest established and most experienced primary federations in the country with ten schools in Slough, Buckinghamshire and Hillingdon. All of our schools, since joining the federation, have been graded by Ofsted as Good or Outstanding. The Park Federation is a big enough organisation to provide excellent support services to our schools, while small enough to ensure that every school and local community has a voice in the way the federation is run and the values it lives by. All our schools have their own unique character, personality and history, while simultaneously benefitting from the strength, security and resources of a larger educational partnership.

The federation was founded over 10 years ago on 16th November 2009 when Cranford Park Primary School and Wood End Park Community School began working in a formal partnership. In 2013 two more schools joined the federation - James Elliman Primary School and Montem Primary School in Slough. By 2014, the four-school federation had grown to six schools with the addition of Western House Primary School in Slough and Lake Farm Park Academy in Hillingdon. Following that, two more schools have joined the family: Godolphin Juniors in Slough and West Drayton Academy in Hillingdon. The two most recent schools to join the federation are Iver Village Infant school who joined in 2023 and Hannah Ball School who joined in 2024.

Our federation growth has been cautious and prudent. We want more children, families and staff members to benefit from joining the federation but are mindful of our responsibilities to the communities that have already placed their trust in us. Growth is never allowed to undermine our commitment to educational standards, high quality pastoral care and community service.

As of 2024, The Park Federation has ten schools: four in Slough, four in Hillingdon and two in Buckinghamshire. It cares for and educates over 6,000 children and employs over 800 people, including more than 200 primary school teachers. Within our large staff team, we have professionals who use their impressive knowledge, skills and expertise to drive educational progress and provide the care and kindness that young children need. Our ten schools look out for each other, especially when times are tough. Three of our eight schools were judged inadequate by Ofsted when they joined us. All three are now Good. We have a proven track record of school improvement and are now working to move all our schools to Outstanding. Mutual support, cooperative working and a commitment to the children and communities we serve are paying dividends."
