About the Trust
White Woods Primary Academy Trust was established in 2013 and is now a family of 16 primary schools within the borough of Rotherham.
Our vision is simple: all children, whatever their background, will be supported to thrive both academically and socially, developing the skills of lifelong learners. We believe in keeping the main thing the main thing — excellent teaching and learning — within a culture that is curious, collaborative, child-centred and challenging in all the right ways.
Our mission is to make every school an exceptional place to learn and work. We want children and adults to experience a breadth of exciting opportunities that spark curiosity, broaden horizons and build ambition. We believe that the best outcomes come when we combine high challenge with high support, and when joy, wellbeing and professional growth are woven into daily school life.
We are also proud to host a successful DfE English Hub and have a strong track record in developing effective approaches to reading.
