Woodlands Academy is a single-form entry primary school, with a nursery provision situated in Stockwood, Bristol. Our school is hidden off the main road, but has amazing school grounds with extensive field space, a forest area, a garden and three ponds.

At Woodlands, children are at the centre of everything we do. We aim to offer our pupils an education which supports and challenges every child to reach their full potential. We want children to leave Woodlands ready for the next stage of their education with age-appropriate life skills; respectful of others, their community and of themselves and resilient being able to face challenges bravely and confidently. They should be proud of their behaviour and their attitude towards learning. 

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and caring school with a family feel, who work in partnership with families and agencies to support children to make sure that they try their best, feel happy and safe and achieve well. All of the staff at Woodlands are proud of our school and the children who attend it.

We are a diverse and inclusive community of 35 academies across five cluster regions in the South West that is committed to excellence and making a positive impact. Our people bring unique perspectives, but we’re all driven by a shared moral purpose and a passion for making a positive impact, whether in a teaching, leadership or support role. We’re proud to foster a culture where everyone can thrive, feel valued, and make a meaningful difference to the lives of others.

We are an equal opportunity employer and proud to serve a diverse student population and our communities. We strongly believe that representation matters and so encourage applications from underrepresented and global majority groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.

We aim to remove any barriers to employment, ensuring everyone can compete on equal terms. Job share, part-time and flexible working opportunities will be considered.
