Skyswood Primary School is committed to providing a high quality education for all of our pupils. Skyswood Primary and Woodlands Nursery School's vision is to provide a happy, caring and challenging environment where children recognise and achieve their full potential, developing a love for learning in an ever-changing world.

We aim to achieve our vision by:

  • Delivering a challenging and exciting curriculum through high quality teaching
  • Sharing everybody's achievements and celebrating their successes
  • Involving the school and the wider community in respecting and caring for each other and the world around us

We are proud of the academic and extracurricular achievements of our school, which are testament to the quality and commitment of our staff, the support of the wider community and the efforts and focus of the Skyswood pupils.

Haiti Appeal

Many thanks to all of the children and parents who contributed to our Haiti appeal, either through our cake sale (donating or purchasing!) or through the Hand to Haiti initiative. On the day we managed to raise over £270. With very reasonably priced cake and 50p per handprint that adds up to a lot of cake and handprints. Well done!
