Principal’s Welcome
A warm welcome to you and your family. We have been welcoming new girls, families and friends to our beautiful school for more than 120 years, and with every new arrival we are reminded of how lucky we are to live and learn in such a safe, secure and stunning setting.
Woodford House is a boutique, girl-centric school where every student is known by her name. As we are a boarding school, the wellbeing of our girls goes beyond 8am – 3pm. Our girls are deeply cared for, listened to, encouraged and nurtured in an inclusive and positive environment.
We have a solid foundation to achieve personal excellence in all of our pursuits whether academic, sporting, cultural or spiritual. We are proud that in 2017, we received ten national scholarships across the curriculum areas for academic excellence.
Alongside our rich history and traditional values, we are focused on the future. Woodford House girls are building the skills, experiences, competencies, attitude and resilience required to move into life roles that will see them influence, participate, inspire and grow to be exceptional women.
