This is a great school, the principle Mr Payne is always willing to listen. This principle has made a big turnaround with the teachers the students and parents. The staff at Woodland work to keep the kids in a safe,and the learning environment positive.
There is constant change to keep the kids interest. Parent participation is high and always welcome.
