Woodlands Primary School

Woodlands primary school has recently a significant decline in student numbers while other schools close by are full and not accepting new enrollments from out of area. While most teachers are great the management is very dismissive of parental concerns and out of touch with the school community. Teachers lack support required to adequately scaffold students learning. Communication between the school and parents is lacking and parents feel ill informed of their childs strengths or weaknesses. In my experience the school doesn't use up to date (trauma informed or strengths based) strategies to manage social emotional issues and has a tendency to blame parents for their childs difficulties rather than providing a collaborative approach to supporting children.
