Word From The Head

Head Photo

James Lockwood


At Woodhouse Grove we appreciate that every child is an individual with their own unique personality, talents and skills; and it is this individuality that we grow and nurture at all stages of their education, this approach is at the heart of the school's aims and ethos (seen below).

A child’s potential could lie anywhere – so we ensure that every pupil is exposed to a huge array of opportunities and experiences. We then take pride in identifying and honing their strengths to make the most of their natural abilities, while working hard to develop areas that need improvement. This approach sees each and every Grovian grow into the very best version of themselves they can be.

James Lockwood
Headmaster.

Teaching enables pupils to make good progress across all stages of their education. Provision for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong.
