Welcome to WoodkirkWoodkirk High Specialist Science School is a well established, fully comprehensive, co-educational, 11-19 maintained Specialist Science School. It has a very proud record in academic, intellectual, social, sporting, musical, dramatic and community developments. The school aims to provide a safe, happy and ordered environment where all children have the maximum opportunities to fully develop their individual skills and abilities.
Overview of Woodkirk High SchoolThere are over 1820 students on roll including more than 240 sixth formers and a team of 117 teachers, plus 42 ancillary staff. Woodkirk is set in its own very extensive grounds and it has the staffing, facilities and courses available to educate students to university entrance level. We try to bring about learning in all its various forms for all children, irrespective of ability and background. Woodkirk aims to create a balance between the various academic, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, social, community, musical, athletic and career demands on young people. We have splendid traditions in music, performing arts, drama, theatre, games, physical education and community involvement. Students are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of school life; the range of curricular and extra-curricular opportunities offers a wide variety of choice.
Woodkirk High School follows the National Curriculum and students are given full support to excel; the future belongs to young people who are well educated and trained to offer the skills and abilities demanded by society. In September 2003 the school became a new Specialist Science School and as a result we provide enhanced facilities and resources in mathematics and science. As a result of this designation there will also be more opportunities for students to use ICT as a learning tool in all areas of the curriculum. |
