Our Trust

Woodard Academies are part of the wider family of Woodard Schools.

The family includes other single and multi-academy trusts, independent, state funded and international schools.

The Woodard Corporation is a significant charity founded on the vision of Canon Nathaniel Woodard, providing high quality education in an actively Christian school environment for all. Today, Woodard educates over 30,000 pupils across academy, independent and state-maintained schools. Our aim is to be the educational provider of choice and a valued voice in UK education. The Woodard Corporation sponsors the Woodard Academies Trust.

The Woodard Corporation aims to bring out the very best in everyone. A Woodard education champions the cause of child-centred holistic learning, paying particular attention to the development of the whole person: spiritually, morally, culturally,academically, aesthetically, and physically. This means that education begins at the point of the child’s needs and places a high value on developing self-respect and self-esteem. Every child is valued for who they are and encouraged to give their very best.

The Woodard Corporation believe that every young person has the right to develop their full potential. Many of the young people successfully compete on the national stage in the field of academia, sports, the arts, and culture.

The Woodard family contains some of the highest achieving schools in both the public and private sectors, including a number of national Teaching Schools.
