About the School
At Woolton High, learners make meaningful progress in a safe, structured and caring environment and are enabled to build positive relationships with adults and peers alike. They are also encouraged to take responsibility for and have ownership of their own personal development and behaviour so that they can become young people with the skills and attitudes required to become valued members of society. In order to achieve these aims, we endeavour to create a learning environment that is positive, friendly and supportive of all learners. We work very closely with Governors, Parents/Carers and our multi-agency partners to ensure that their child’s education is a purposeful, productive and positive experience, which helps to prepare them for their next stage of development. Ofsted commented that “students achieve well” at Woolton High and parents have called us a “fantastic school”. One parent posted on our Facebook page: “I highly recommend to any parents considering this school. My son is a different child and is thriving academically.”
