Woodside Green Academy

We are a small and friendly school serving the families of the Cowlersley community and beyond. Our vision is a simple one - every child who attends our school can expect and will receive an excellent standard of education - one that enables them to shine as individuals, make a positive contribution and reach their full potential.

We are an inclusive school and it has been recognised that we seek to support every child regardless of their needs. Parents speak positively about how their children’s individual and additional needs are supported.  

We are currently a one form entry primary school catering for children from nursery (3 years old) to year 6 (11 years old).

Places at the school are available following the standard admissions process through Kirklees.

Children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are supported by the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and Pastoral team and are given additional support with transition.

We recognise that at some point in any child’s life at Woodside Green Primary School, they may require additional support to reach their potential. Regardless of the need and length of time for which support is required, the school will meet that need wherever possible, seeking external support if needed.

Some children may need extra support in a small group setting with a trained teaching assistant or teacher, working on an area of learning such as phonics or maths. They may only be in this group for a short period of time to help them make progress.
As a school, we follow a nurturing approach to supporting children's emotional and social needs and have an on-site Pastoral team.
We have a range of inclusive before- and after-school clubs, including Breakfast club and a range of sports offers.
