Brilliant to be able to celebrate that we are recognised as a partner by Steplab for the coaching work we do to support our teacher's professional development.

We will be raising money for LOROS this year and will be designing our own baby elephant to #StompRoundLeicester- look out for fundraising events during the year!

Update - February 2025 - we have hit the milestone of £1000 raised to LOROS - how much more can we raise? Look out for a further event this term.

                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been recognised as a Partner School for our work with Rocket Phonics and made a 'Reading Planet Partner School'

 

We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the Primary Languages Development Award at the Outstanding level.

We are really pleased to share our school involvement in the Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS project). At Woodland Grange, we know that building strong relationships and working together to support our children and parents with SEND is the strongest pathway. We are therefore pleased to have access to the support and training opportunities the PINS project offers.

We are really pleased to be recognised with a silver award for music by the Leicestershire Music Hub
