WOODARD SCHOOLS – A QUALITY EDUCATION
FAITH | UNITY | VISION
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.
A Woodard Education
We firmly believe that all young people should be given every opportunity to flourish and to become world class learners, within nurturing and supportive communities.
Our Schools
Woodard encompasses a number of schools across the UK and even beyond, all governed on the principle of high quality education in an actively Christian environment.
“For a religious environment is never without its influence. A pupil may leave school apparently unaffected, or even alienated, by the services they have attended and the instruction they have received. Yet, little though they may recognise the fact, they would have been in contact with something assured, unchanging, and victoriously dynamic; and the memory of it, at later moments of their life, when passion is violent, temptation overwhelming, or despair insistent, may avail to call them home to a Church which offers the power and grace promised by God Himself in Christ.”
