Derby
At Allestree Woodlands, we pride ourselves on the warm and friendly atmosphere
of the school. Relationships are important and we work to ensure that every
student feels safe and happy. We strive for the best achievements for our
students and believe that every young person deserves the chance to feel
successful at school. Our school aims are summed up in our mission statement:
Enabling aspiration and achievement for all, through delivery of a
knowledge-rich curriculum underpinned by our CORE values: COURAGE OPTIMISM
REGARD ENDEAVOUR This means that staff at Allestree Woodlands continue to review
and improve our curriculum to ensure that knowledge acquisition is clear,
coherent and that year on year learning builds on what has gone before so that
students feel that they are moving forward and knowing more. As I have said to
our students, this acquisition of knowledge gives power and confidence to
believe in ourselves and put ourselves in new, unfamiliar, challenging and
exciting situations in the future. We seek to equip all of our students to use
their knowledge to plan for and achieve their next steps and to be aspirational
for their futures. To do this, we must both support and challenge all young
people to aspire, to dream of what might lie ahead and to work hard to make
those ambitious goals possible. Why settle for less than our very best? When
aspiration and hard work are combined, people achieve amazing things. We are
lucky to be a thriving school with a growing intake, a wide level 3 subject
offer at post-16, superb extra-curricular opportunities in sports, technology
and the creative and performing arts as well as possessing tremendous
facilities. If you would like to know more, take a look at our website or
arrange a visit. We have open evenings planned for this half-term for
prospective students and their parents and you are most welcome to come along
and get a feel for what Allestree Woodlands is all about.
