Woodlands Academy
Woodlands Academy
A city-wide boys’ school
We are a school for boys across the city, and further afield
As you can see from the areas indicated on the map, Woodlands Academy
really is a school for all boys in Coventry as well as further afield. Whilst many
secondary schools are usually only populated by students from the immediate
catchments area, Woodlands Academy is an extremely popular school for
students throughout the city and beyond. Woodlands Academy is a truly
representative school for Coventry’s young males.
Many boys travel to Woodlands by our subsidised minibus service from
Allesley, Fillongley and Corley. Others travel on buses from all areas of
Coventry including Walsgrave, Wyken, Longford, Ernesford Grange, Binley,
Stoke, Cheylesmore, Earlsdon and Coundon whilst others walk to school from
local areas including Eastern Green, Mount Nod, Park Hill and Whoberley.
Our students enjoy arriving at Woodlands to join their friends in their
Houses in the morning for some social time before enjoying a day learning in
lessons. Many students also enjoy a range of after-school activities and clubs
including art, sport, technology, homework club or taking part in inter-House
competitions.
Other areas including
CV7, CV10 and CV12
An ever increasing number of students are opting to join Woodlands Academy each year, and all are welcome as they each play a part in
creating such a positive environment for Coventry’s boys.
If you are in Year 5 or Year 6, or you know someone who is and wishes to be one of the many boys who are requesting a much soughtafter
place at our school, then all it takes is a phone call to us (02476 462634) to set you on your way.

Don’t miss your chance of a place at Coventry’s only all-boys’ school - call us now and become one of the escalating number of boys
choosing a first-class education with us.
Stargazing!
Students from Years 7 to 12 joined Mr Nangreave for some stargazing! Over the winter they have
observed a number of nearby stars and planets, including seeing the weather on Jupiter and craters
on the Moon. Mr Nangreave said “We are now aiming to use the internet to access telescopes in La
Palma, Hawaii, and Australia. We intend to have many more stargazing experiences over the coming
term.”
Mr Nangreave added “All students are welcome to come along to Astronomy Club. The days the
club runs will be announced via school Notices as the use of the telescope is dependent on good
weather conditions.”
The students have really enjoyed using the telescope which was generously provided by funding from the Institute of Physics.
Some staff and students attended a ‘Stargazing Live’ event hosted by Ernesford Grange School and we intend to extend our activities
here at Woodlands Academy. Watch out for details or please see Mr Nangreave for more information. In the meantime, why not go
to the BBC Stargazing Live website and explore the online stargazing opportunities including the search for new planets? The website
address is :www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/stargazing.
