Assessments & Results
Woodlands school undertakes rigorous assessments of all pupils' skills and learning on a regular basis.
All pupils are set challenging targets, which are supported by national guidance expectations. We have developed our own Woodlands levels which take account of nationally accepted scales and created a comparator scale to track progress rates over time. We always expect pupils to achieve well in relation to their own starting points. Where a pupil's progress changes, we rigorously investigate the cause of this and where necessary use personalised interventions to support learning until it improves.
Our results over time are shown in the linked documents below and these give information for the last three academic years. As our cohort sizes at the end of key stages are very small, the data is all anonymous.
A summary of the current year's evaluation and actions to be undertaken by the school are also included.
Woodlands School Progress Report 2025-2026
More information can be found on the Department for Education's School Performance website.
Cohort sizes are all under 10 pupils so results are not published.
Key Stage 1 and 2 National Test Results
No pupils in KS1 or KS2 sat the statutory assessment tests in 2026. No pupils would have been able to access the tests due to their individual levels of attainment. The Standards and Testing Authority (STA) are normally informed about the results at both Key Stages.
Key Stage 1 Results
All KS1 pupils were achieving within the 'Seven Areas of Engagement' or the 'Pre-Key Stage Standards' in 2026.
No pupils sat the Phonics Screening check
Key Stage 2 Results
All KS2 pupils were achieving within the 'Seven Areas of Engagement' or the 'Pre-Key Stage Standards' in 2026.
Key Stage 4 and 5 Test Results and Accreditation
No pupils gained any GCSE qualifications in 2022 but most students gained one or more AQA units award in Life Skills, Arts or Core subject areas or ASDAN awards in Transition.
At Woodlands, we offer a wide range of accredited courses for learners. These are chosen to meet the learning aspirations of young people and give them opportunities to explore different aspects of learning at an appropriate level. All young people access accreditations at either Pre-Entry, Entry or Level 1 as appropriate. Where a learner may have the ability to achieve at a higher level, we work closely with partner schools to facilitate this.
The document below shows the range of courses currently on offer.
