Religious Life

Independent and maintained, senior and junior, co-ed and single sex, boarding and day, all Woodard Schools share Nathanael Woodard's vision of a Christian education coupled with a belief in nurturing and enriching each individual; a vision which challenges those that believe education is simply a matter of teaching and learning certain skills. Woodard schools have a Christian (Anglican) foundation, but are inclusive and welcoming to pupils of all faiths and none.

With a supportive and enriching environment, Woodard Schools empower their pupils and provide a confidence enabling them to lead a rich and fulfilled life.

Today there are 23 owned Woodard schools - these are independent schools offering a wealth of education and opportunity for students from the ages of 2 to 18.

There are also 17 affiliated schools, located across the UK. These are leading state schools that have joined the Woodard family in order to share best practice, latest thinking and experience. Currently, two new academies are being pioneered in Sussex in the state sector, as Woodard schools.

With schools within the group from both the independent and maintained sectors, Woodard is seen as one of the UK's leading suppliers of education.

The Cathedral School Llandaff is the only Anglican choir school in Wales, and the only Cathedral school in the Woodard family.
