Primary school reorganisation in Woodford, Plympton

A Plymouth City Council school reorganisation project in partnership with the Governing Bodies of Woodford infant and junior schools.

From September 2010, Woodford infant and junior schools will be replaced by a new, all-through community primary school on the current site. The new school will have 420 pupil places and an admission number of 60.

The new school is expected to:

• improve even further the quality of teaching and learning in the area
• provide better continuity and consistency and give pupils a smoother transition between Key Stage 1 and 2
• simplify the links between home and school, especially where families have children in both Key Stage 1 and 2
• provide a wider range of professional opportunities for school staff, enabling them to extend their skills experience and knowledge
• enable more efficient and flexible management of staff, finance, accommodation and other school resources

This plan to replace Woodford infant and junior schools with an all-through primary school received final approval from the schools adjudicator in July 2007, following detailed consultations with all interested parties and the completion of all statutory procedures.
