woodrush high school
Worcestershire
Welcome to Woodrush High School, an extremely popular and over-subscribed
Academy for 11 to 18-year olds. Woodrush is a thriving secondary school
committed to building supportive, professional relationships between students,
staff, parents, carers and the community we serve, to ensure all our young
people receive the excellent education they deserve. With an established
reputation both locally and regionally, Woodrush has a strong history of success
and partnerships. Our school community is composed of the main school site and
the modern Community Hub building: containing the community and school Library,
Rush Gym, Café, Youth & Community Centre and our Training Consortium. Each of
these elements of Woodrush reflects our commitment to being at the heart of our
community, serving children and residents and growing specialist in learning,
teaching and youth support. We strive for ‘Excellence through Endeavour’ in all
that we do. This motto captures our unwavering drive towards academic success
for all, whilst developing our young people to be well-rounded individuals who
will make a positive contribution to society. In our most recent inspection we
were judged by Ofsted as a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ leadership &
management and ‘Outstanding’ student personal development, behaviour and
welfare. As a thriving community school, we value the contribution all our
students make to the life and success of everything we do. Our pastoral care is
a clear strength and ensures that students and staff feel safe, valued and are
happy to be a part of our school. Indeed, visitors comment on the ‘warmth’ and
sense of ‘family’ which is tangible around the school. We deliver a challenging,
relevant and adaptable curriculum which inspires, stretches and celebrates
students learning and enables them to access a wide range of disciplines. Our
teaching and learning support staff are committed and well-qualified
professionals, dedicated to maximising success for all students. Woodrush staff
share a common goal: to make our school the very best it can be and make each
learner’s experience, a successful one. Woodrush staff have extremely high
expectations of both themselves and our students. However, of all our
achievements, we are most proud of our young people: their behaviour is
excellent. They are courteous, friendly natured, curious learners and respectful
individual towards each other and staff. And they enjoy and participate
positively in their classroom-based experiences and the extensive
extra-curricular opportunities afforded to them. We are justifiably proud to be
a part of Woodrush. Whatever your interest in our Academy, I hope you find the
information on this website useful. If you have any further questions, or would
like to visit our school, please get in touch, we would be delighted to welcome
you.
