## Resource

Woodlands Primary School in Birkenhead is under fire from Ofsted, with inspectors finding major gaps in student achievement, curriculum delivery, early years skills, and inclusivity — though attendance, behavior, leadership, and wellbeing earned an “expected standard.” Pupils are falling short in reading and writing by the end of key stage two, with basic errors going uncorrected, while even phonics instruction can’t compensate for shaky foundational skills like letter formation and pencil grip. Headteacher Gemma Crosthwaite acknowledges the report but celebrates the school’s strong culture, staff dedication, and collaborative spirit as it tackles these challenges head-on.
