Woodlands School Reviews
1 (1 review)
Senior management is terrible bullying of children by staff. Lack of support from some staff. The Dance teacher Miss Brown cannot dance and has no concept of what dance Is unless it is from the 70s or 80s. Poor MFL department. Best thing I ever did is move my child.
