Woodgate Primary Academy

A Nurturing Environment

Nestled beside the beautiful Tilgate Forest on the edge of Pease Pottage, Woodgate Primary Academy is a small, welcoming school where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to thrive. With around 130 children across six woodland-animal-themed classes, including our lively nursery, we create an environment where learning is imaginative, engaging, and rooted in curiosity.

Inspiring Learning

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum designed to spark a lifelong love of learning. Our focus is on developing the whole child – helping pupils grow in confidence, build strong relationships, and gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, both now and in the future. Every child leaves feeling proud of who they are and excited for what comes next.

Why Work Here

At Woodgate, you’ll join a small, close-knit team where your contribution really matters. You will work alongside passionate, caring colleagues in a nurturing environment, with opportunities to develop your skills, take initiative, and grow professionally. The academy values creativity, curiosity, and collaboration, ensuring that both staff and pupils thrive together every day.

We’re a small school with big opportunities.
