Cambridge curriculum school in Vadodara.

The Cambridge curriculum at Woodford

In the primary years, Grades 1 to 5, Woodford follows the Cambridge curriculum. It covers English, mathematics and science with clear learning objectives for each stage, and builds the skills children need for later study: reading with understanding, reasoning with numbers, asking questions and explaining their thinking.

From Grade 6 to Grade 12, families can choose between a CBSE pathway and a Cambridge pathway, so each child can follow the route that suits their plans for higher education in India or abroad.

Taught the Finnish way

Woodford combines the Cambridge curriculum with Finnish pedagogy: longer focused learning blocks instead of back-to-back short periods, movement and outdoor time after every block, projects that connect two or three subjects at once, and passion projects every day. Progress is tracked through monthly assessments, portfolios and parent–teacher meetings every quarter, with no ranking of children against each other.

Who Woodford suits

Woodford suits families in Vadodara who want an internationally recognised curriculum without heavy bags, rote learning or exam pressure in the early years, and who want their child to stay on one campus from preschool at Toddler's Block through to Grade 12. The campus is in Vasna, close to Sevasi, Bhayli, Gotri and New Alkapuri, and school buses cover the major areas of the city.
