We found that on arriving to Woodford all the staff and students were warm, friendly and very welcoming. They make you feel accepted and at home from day one. The entire staffs are wonderful, reception staffs are great and know your name when you walk through the door, all the auxiliary staff say good morning and greet you with a smile, teachers are welcoming, friendly and keen to help settle the children in. In a country that is so different to that of what my children have known, they are happier in school here than they were in Australia and that has enabled us to settle here too.
