About the school

  • The co-ed day school’s history dates to the 16th century, when Thomas Seckford, courtier to Queen Elizabeth I, established a foundation to better prospects for the young and elderly in Suffolk.
  • The majority of school leavers gain a place at their first-choice university; in 2024 more than 65 per cent of students achieved Ucas tariff points equivalent to grades of AAB or better — the school’s best results yet.
  • The learning support team at the Centre of Reaching Excellence provides a space for private study surrounded by resources. Pupils can also attend one-to-one tutoring at their own request.
  • Woodbridge attracts accomplished skiers who compete nationally and internationally. Regular training sessions are held at the nearby Suffolk Ski Centre.
