About the school
“At Joydens Wood, we pride ourselves on being two separate yet closely-knit schools, dedicated to providing a seamless and enriching educational journey for our children from Reception through to the end of Year 6.”
Established school - open since before 2011. Became an academy in November 2011, continuing the school that was already there.
