This site states the aims and philosophy of our Federated School. We are committed to providing children with a caring atmosphere for active learning and have a high-quality staff who continually strive to achieve the highest standards of teaching and learning.
It is very difficult to cover every aspect of school life and if there are any questions you might have which are not answered on this site, then please do contact the school. We hope the journey through the following pages gives you a flavour of our school community.
The Read for Good Readathon 2026 has come to an end, and what an amazing effort from our Albert Pritchard Infant and Wood Green Junior community! Thanks to your support, we're helping children in hospitals and will receive free books to inspire our readers all year round. Keep encouraging your child to read every day - the benefits last a lifetime.
