Vision and values
The Tree of Life represents the values of Penn Wood. The school celebrates diversity and minimises any barriers to learning. The vision is "Better never stops". This means respecting every children’s individual abilities, helping to building existing skills so progress can be made across all areas of learning.
English and maths are prioritised within each subject area, alongside language and literacy. Teachers strive to establish good thinking and ICT skills for every pupil. The school has adopted a subject-specific approach rather than a cross-curricular one.
Ofsted report
“Teachers work hard to stimulate and motivate pupils, making good use of information and communication technology, where suitable. For example, in a religious education lesson pupils made good progress understanding Sikhism because a video provoked good-quality discussion about what Sikhs believe and how this links to other religions.”
