Message from Mrs Hunt regarding the potential closure of Chiltern Edge School
We have been contacted by Chiltern Edge School to ask if we would remind you all of the consultation regarding the future of their school. I am told that there are currently about 150 Woodcote pupils attending Chiltern Edge School across their year groups. Here in Woodcote we are in a very fortunate position to be able to choose from a number of secondary schools for our children. I would encourage you all to read the consultation and answer the questionnaire in order to have your say about the future of one of our local schools. The information can be found from the following link:

We hope you all have a great half term break.
