May I take this opportunity to welcome you to Crown Woods School, which is a large mixed comprehensive on a very pleasant green field site. Our pastoral structure allows us to organise and group students more discreetly in order to ensure that no one individual feels lost in the school. Indeed, it is our prime concern to ensure that every student feels an integral part of this school where her/his individual gifts and talents are recognised and developed. Students are grouped by ability throughout the school.  This provides the maximum opportunity for teachers to focus on the student’s individual needs in order to ensure progress for all. The express stream caters for those students who are gifted and talented right across the curriculum.  We offer a broad, comprehensive curriculum in our 6th Form which is located in a newly remodelled and separate building on the site.

Our school day allows us to work with focus and pace and to provide a comprehensive programme of extra curricular activities (approximately 100 extra lessons each week) to enrich and extend the educational opportunities at the school.

Crown Woods is at an exciting phase in its development with a clear focus on raising standards in an ordered and disciplined environment.  It is also a school that encourages creativity and independence. It is our clear objective to contribute significantly to the development of independently thinking, clear minded, responsible members of society who have the qualifications to take whatever opportunities arise.  Our objectives will be further enhanced by the re-building of the school over the next three years.  The school will provide state of the art, cutting edge facilities supported by the most advanced technology and focussed on providing an outstanding experience for all students.

Yours sincerely

M J Murphy
