Wood-Dene School

This is a school which cares for each pupil as an individual, fostering academic potential and social development in a wonderfully idiosyncratic environment!

"[1] The school was threatened with administration in 2009, but this was prevented by the actions of pupils, parents, staff and administrators at Vantis Business Recovery Services who brokered a deal with Barclay's Bank to keep the school open.

[2] On 22 May 2009 the local newspaper, the Eastern Daily Press, carried reports that the school had been saved from closure.

[4] In March 2010 the school announced that intended to close at the end of the Spring Term after going into voluntary administration, although they would be arranging tuition for pupils sitting their GCSEs.

[5] In April it was announced by Caroline Sands, company secretary of Aylmerton Hall, a company formed by parents and grandparents to save the school, that the closure had been caused by a number of parents failing to pay school fees.
