Common questions
- What year groups does Woodlands teach?
- Woodlands teaches children aged 6 to 14. It is a special school in Rossendale.
- Who is the headteacher of Woodlands?
- The headteacher of Woodlands is Ms Emma Fletcher, as recorded in the Department for Education's register of schools.
- Has Woodlands been inspected?
- Ofsted has not inspected Woodlands under its current framework, so no current judgement is shown. That is common for newer schools and is not a mark against a school.
- How big is Woodlands?
- Woodlands has 5 pupils on roll, teaching children aged 6 to 14.
- Is Woodlands full?
- Woodlands has capacity for 9 pupils and 5 on roll (56%), so it has space against its published capacity. Places are allocated through the local authority's admissions process, so capacity alone does not tell you whether a place is available.
- Is Woodlands a faith school?
- No. Woodlands has no designated religious character.
- Does Woodlands publish exam results?
- OfferDay shows exam results for a school only where the Department for Education has published them, and none are shown for Woodlands. That is usual for infant, nursery, special and independent schools, and for schools without recent published results.
School details come from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register. Inspection outcomes come from Ofsted, and exam results from the Department for Education's school performance service. This page was last updated on 24 July 2026.
