History

The school was established in 1953 as Witney's secondary modern school before becoming a comprehensive school in 1968.^[1]

Previously a community school administered by Oxfordshire County Council, in February 2017 Wood Green School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Acer Trust.

Facilities

Set in over thirty acres of grounds and playing fields, the school is equipped with an all-weather floodlit pitch, multi-purpose sports hall, gymnasium and fitness suite.^[2] All classrooms throughout the school are equipped with interactive whiteboards. In 2015 Wood Green School was inspected by Ofsted and judged to be Good.^[3]^[4]
