Woodlands Academy (formerly The Woodlands School and Sports College) was a boys comprehensive secondary school situated in west Coventry in the West Midlands, England.
[1] In the main building there was a copy of the Guernica painting, which illustrated a stylised view of the 1937 Bombing of Guernica in Basque Spain by German and Italian bombers in the Spanish Civil War, in which the artist Pablo Picasso clearly expressed his abhorrence to the military suppression of the Spanish people.
[2] There was a flagpole behind the library bearing a dedication to students of the original schools who were killed in the wartime bombing of Coventry.
Despite some opposition, the merger was approved, and all Woodlands Academy pupils transferred to the Tile Hill Wood site in September 2016.
The newly merged co-educational school was renamed West Coventry Academy from September 2017.
