John Wood School & Nursery

John Wood School & Nursery (formerly Davidson Primary Academy) joined Chancery Education Trust as a sponsored Academy in April 2016 when it was placed in special measures following an Ofsted inspection in October 2015. Chancery Education Trust was chosen as the preferred Trust due to its proven track record of excellence in raising attainment for all pupils.

Located within the heart of Croydon in beautiful green secluded grounds, every day brings new challenges and opportunities for their children aged 4 -11 years.

At John Wood School & Nursery staff, governors, parents and pupils work closely together to create a learning environment that stimulates young minds, encourages their development and success, and promotes a sense of responsibility for themselves and others.

In 2019, John Wood School & Nursery was awarded Ofsted grade Good. The collaboration between Academy and Trust has resulted in stable staffing, dedicated leadership and pupils who want to learn and make the most of their education.
