Healthy Minds
By offering our students a safe, structured environment where they feel they are attuned with others and that helps them develop strong emotional regulation skills, we are giving them a strong foundation from which to achieve their full potential in future life. Everyday interactions are key in building a feeling of safety, belonging and connectedness in order for emotional and cognitive brain development to flourish. When a child feels they have a strong connection to another person, whether adult or peer, it enables them to develop skills in emotional regulation that leads to resilience and confidence in the face of challenging situations in future life.

Ofsted
Woodseats Primary School continues to be a good school. Pupils are happy and feel safe, which means they can focus on their learning. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves healthy in ways such as eating a balanced diet and exercising frequently. They also understand how to keep themselves safe online. Pupils say that bullying is rare but if it did happen, they know that teachers would help them. Pupils are polite, friendly and engaging. They are respectful and talk confidently to adults using appropriate humour.
Behaviour in school is good. Pupils engage well together at breaktimes and lunchtimes. Pupils listen well in class and have positive learning attitudes. Pupils speak passionately about the ‘Zones of Regulation’. They can confidently recognise their own emotions and know it is ok to feel certain ways in different situations. They are aware of strategies they can use to ensure they are focused and ready to learn.
