About Woodbridge High School

Headteacher: Steven Hogan

Woodbridge High School is a thriving, ethnically diverse, successful comprehensive secondary school that serves its local community in the heart of Woodford. The school is a ten form entry school with 300 students in each year group.

The sixth form of 400 students continues to prosper with the majority of our students staying on after year 11. The teaching staff are all specialists in their separate areas and permanently contracted to the school. Year on year the school attracts a high number of first-choice applications for year 7 entry, with a record number of first choice places allocated this year. The school has a diverse curriculum that meets the needs of all the students and provides them with a pathway towards their chosen careers. The school is a happy, flourishing and mutually respectful place of learning.

The latest Ofsted report describes it as a place where students 'receive an excellent education' and where 'behaviour in and around the school is exceptional' . Government figures reveal that students at Woodbridge achieve beyond their expected performance levels.

Woodbridge is a school with a commitment to high standards. Our ethos is one of kindness, inclusion, respect and aiming for excellence. Our commitment to the success of every student is reinforced by the school's motto: ‘Pride in Achievement’.

Students at Woodbridge benefit from first-class facilities including an artificial grass pitch, outdoor basketball nets and table-tennis tables, a fitness studio, a refurbished sports hall, a new building with a performance theatre, specialist art, drama and music rooms, and a remodelled library.
