Woodslee Year 6 Secures 3rd Place in GoIT Computing Competition!
Last week, Year 6 represented us in Manchester for the trust-wide GoIT computing competition. The challenge was to design a web app that addresses a community issue. After their trip to New Brighton beach, they created an innovative rubbish-finding app that turns cleaning up into a fun game, with levels to work through, points to earn, and even a feature to locate the nearest recycling centre. We’re thrilled to announce that Woodslee’s app came THIRD! ๐คฉ What an incredible achievement – well done, everyone! Miss Neil and Mrs Stant are so proud of your hard work and creativity! ๐คฉ

Ride and Rant
Support our “Ride and Rant” for Wirral Mind!
This Time to Talk Day, Co-op Academy Woodslee, Portland and Hillside are going all out to support mental health awareness with our “Ride and Rant” spinathon!
On Saturday, 8th February, a group of staff will be cycling non-stop for 6 hours at Bidston Sports and Activity Centre to raise funds for Wirral Mind, an incredible charity supporting mental health in our local community.
The event kicks off with spin classes led by our fabulous school staff, followed by a team effort to keep the wheels turning. Together, we’ll tag-team to ensure at least one bike is spinning at all times and tally up our miles to see how far we can go.
Exercise is a fantastic way to boost mental wellbeing, and this event is all about getting people moving, talking and supporting a cause that makes a real difference.
Please donate to help us reach our goal and support Wirral Mind in their vital work. Every pound raised will help provide mental health resources and support to those who need it most.
Let’s cycle, chat, and make a difference together. Thank you for your generosity!

Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Woodslee, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.
