Notes: Woodlands School is an oversubscribed 11-18 mixed comprehensive school situated in Allestree, which is the north-western suburb of the city of Derby. Nearly all students come from the immediate neighbourhood with some coming from the inner city itself. Most students are of white British heritage, with a small number of other students coming from a range of ethnic backgrounds. In September 2004 the school was enhanced by the award of specialist technology college status.

Alan Brady, Headteacher says “Every child matters at Woodlands. We have high expectations for all students to succeed and we provide a high quality rounded education. The school’s motto is ‘Proud to Achieve’ and we celebrate everyone’s success. We are never complacent. All the staff are committed to ensuring that each child’s potential is maximised and that when they leave Woodlands they are ready to take on the world. Woodlands School is a place where people matter.”
