Woodlands Schools Limited

Woodlands School, located in Great Warley, Brentwood, was a co-educational independent day school catering to pupils from three months to 11 years old. Set within spacious grounds on a former farm, the school provided early years and prep education. Its ethos focused on fostering curiosity and independence, aiming to develop socially responsible citizens through a blend of traditional and progressive teaching. Due to a substantial decline in pupil numbers following the pandemic, the Great Warley site permanently closed in July 2026, and its operations were amalgamated with its sister school, Hutton Manor.
