General environment
Woodlands School is located in Darwen, a small town in Lancashire. The school building is a large, converted Victorian house, set in a beautiful location. We have a range of specialist classrooms of varying sizes which cater for up to 63 students.
We have an ICT suite, a library with breakout area, a fully equipped design technology workshop and a large dining room where students and staff sit together for breakfast and lunch. Every morning we hold an assembly which is centered around a specific theme, and takes place in our large communal hall.
In the school grounds, we have a five-a-side 3G football pitch which students make use of during their break times. For other sporting activities we make use of the local leisure facilities.
