Our School Values
Our school values of Teamwork – Effort – Kindness, help guide everything we do at Woodlands Primary School. They support children to understand how to treat others with kindness and respect, how to take responsibility for their actions, and how to try their best every day. By sharing and promoting our values, we help children develop confidence, positive relationships and the skills they need to succeed both in school and in the wider world.

On Wednesday, pupils in S3 welcomed Jenny Douglas from the Theatre School of Scotland into the school to lead a workshop on all things musical theatre. Pupils got to experience what life is like at the Theatre School, including exercises in singing, acting, dancing, and even devising some of their own work. The afternoon ended with pupils staging a performance from what they had learned and created. We look forward to welcoming Jenny and the Theatre School of Scotland back to St Matthew’s in the future!North Ayrshire Council Modern Apprenticeship Recruitment Day.
