Welcome to Woolacombe School. We have an inspirational team working here who are committed to helping our children develop and evolve during their time with us and beyond. 

Our diverse and talented team is headed by myself, Gail Holmes. I am the Headteacher of Woolacombe School and am also a Local Leader of Education. Our teaching staff are highly trained professionals who are dedicated to providing an inspiring, broad, balanced curriculum with character at it’s foundation.

At Woolacombe we seek excellence in all we do. We are part of the Alumnis Multi Academy Trust, regularly working with a collection of local schools to share outstanding practice and better the outcomes of all local children.   We believe in excellence as standard, inspiring changemakers of the future. 

We look forward to working together.
