Woodbank is a friendly school where pupils feel happy and well supported. Parents and carers appreciate the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the school. Pupils benefit from a well-planned curriculum which supports their academic and social development and fosters their love of learning. Pupils attend regularly because they like finding out new things with their friends. All pupils in school behave well. Pupils that I spoke to told me that they feel safe in school. They are confident that they can talk to any member of staff if they have a concern. Pupils also told me that on the rare occasions that bullying happens, it is dealt with immediately. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievement. This encourages pupils to do their best and supports their strong achievement in a wide range of subjects. Staff want pupils to be good citizens. Pupils raise funds for many worthy causes and demonstrate their strong leadership skills as school council members. Pupils like to participate in competitive sports including rugby, football and cross-country. They attend yoga, netball and karate clubs and enjoy singing and clog dancing. Pupils enjoy their visits to museums, Viking settlements, castles and local places of interest.
