Head Teacher's Message

Welcome to Woodham Academy. I’m proud to be the headteacher of a school you can trust. Woodham’s journey over the last few years has seen us evolve into a very different place. The entire school community has worked very hard to create a calm, well-behaved, hard-working and nurturing environment, where all students can be successful.
