Welcome to the Woodland Wide Web ~ Woodland Grange Primary School Online. Our site has been built entirely in-school by staff and children with support from parents and governors and we are proud of our many awards.

Please enjoy exploring the various sections of our site. You can read all the latest News, get up to date information from the Office, find out what our Classes have been doing with many super examples of our work, take a break in our Playground, take a school tour or just leave us a message.

Our site first took to the web in 1997. Since 2002 our children and community have been publishing to our site both from school and home using 'blogs'. As a result our site is always brimming with the latest news! In January 2006 we launched WoodlandWideRadio, a podcast radio show featuring news, views, music and entertainment and streamed through our website, in April 2006 we launched our webcam, in August 2006 we launched woodle our VLE and in August 2007 we added our own live rss and sms news feeds to our site powered by twitter.

The staff at Woodland Grange have been excited by the potential of the WWW and have developed our VLE (virtual learning environment) using moodle for our children to work on projects online at home as well as school (E-Learning), for parents to gain information to support their children's learning and to involve themselves in the life of the school (Home-School) and for teachers to share knowledge and materials, including interactive teaching resources (Staffroom).

We have also developed three further sites: iwb.org.uk is a free resource bank of materials for use with the new technology of Interactive Whiteboards, ithink.org.uk is a bank of digital video materials to support the teaching of PSHE and Citizenship and owl.org.uk is the Oadby Web for Learning, a community site for the Oadby, Thurnby and Houghton family of schools.
