- There is a focus on modern languages at Woodbridge, where pupils study either French or Spanish plus German or Russian from years 7-9, then continue with one or both to GCSE level.
- Most students sit nine or ten GCSEs. The range of options includes computer science, media studies, psychology and sociology. In the sixth-form there is a wide variety of A-level subjects as well as vocational courses.
- Reading is a priority, and the school runs contests and quizzes to encourage students in this. Sixth-formers act as reading buddies for younger pupils.
- The Aspire Higher programme is open to academic high-achievers and any student who wants to develop their learning. It involves an extra weekly lesson that focuses on skills such as leadership and debate.
- Through The Woodbridge Edge, an extracurricular programme, all year 12 students take on an additional award or qualification, such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or a Leadership Award. Sixth-formers are also encouraged to volunteer in the school and community.
