The school was previously known as Woodham Community Technology College (from 2000 to 2011) and was initially opened as Woodham Comprehensive School in 1970.[2] Current PositionAdmissionsThe school gained technology college status in 1999.[6] It is one of two secondary schools within Newton Aycliffe, the other being Greenfield School Community and Arts College.[7] Woodham CTC had 897 students as of January 2012. It is situated just south of [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1499465 Woodham Burn], not far (west) from the northern junction of the A167 and the B6443 [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1493190 Central Avenue]. Aycliffe School is nearby to the east. Access over Woodham Burn is via the [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1499492 Great Aycliffe Bridge]. Academic performanceIt gets GCSE results slightly below the England average and average for North East England. A recent Ofsted report states the school "is a good school that is improving strongly". It also goes on to say that the school's behavioural standards are improving, which is having a large effect on the school's achievement. The school also thrives on a highly positive view from students: one student when asked in an Ofsted interview replied with ‘The people here make this school what it is – friendly relationships, but teachers are strict when necessary.’ Each inspection reviews the school as rapidly improving.

Local School Comparison
FacilitiesWithin the school there are a wide variety of facilities including several science laboratories, a swimming pool, a music suite, technology workshops, learning centre and over 370 networked computers. Also there are a number of Apple products for students to use in lessons.[10] In June 2012, the school announced that in the new school year it will introduce an Apple Mac computer suite.{{cn|date=February 2019}} Sports AcademyIn September 2012 Woodham opened its Sports Academy which aims to offer "high quality coaching opportunities to elite athletes in a range of sports"[11] House SystemIn September 2011 the Woodham house system was re-introduced for year seven to ten. The houses are named after local castles. The houses are Brancepeth, Lambton and Raby. Students collect points for their house by working hard and taking part in extracurricular activities.
HistoryThere was a third secondary school in Newton Aycliffe called "The Avenue Comprehensive" - which was demolished in 1992, itself merged from two former secondary schools - "Marlowe Hall Secondary Modern School" and "Milton Hall".[12] It was amalgamated with Woodham. Woodham Comprehensive School was built under the CLASP program (Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme). It was officially opened on 29 June 1970 by Alice Bacon, Baroness Bacon, a former Labour MP. Academy ConversionIn March 2012 the school announced it would be submitting a request to turn the school into an academy. The school introduced a new uniform in September 2012 for the new Academy. The old Woodham CTC uniform was a black polo shirt with the logo on the left side of the chest and the Technology College logo on the right arm. The new Woodham Academy uniform is a grey suit jacket over a white shirt with a tie. The tie is a combination of green, gold and black. For years 7-9 the tie is a clip on and years 10 & 11 have a traditional tie with the new school logo sewn into it. Boys are required to wear straight cut trousers and girls either straight cut trousers or a school skirt that is no shorter than knee length. The school insists that, while the school may undergo dramatic physical changes, its moral standards of Achievement For All will remain.{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}} ArsonOn 4 July 1990 the school was set alight by arsonists. Around a third of the school's teaching area was destroyed and an estimated £1 million of damage was caused. The damaged section of the school was rebuilt and reopened on 12 December 1992.[2] Loss of sixth formWhen the sixth form closed there were 22 students pursuing A-level courses. Well established colleges such as Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form and New College Durham are popular choices for Woodham's students now. Many students go on to study further and higher education.[13] Changes to tutor systemStudents sometimes keep one form tutor through Years 7 to 10, but more commonly they experience 2-3 different tutors in their school life. In Year 11 students are supported by a specialist Year 11 tutor. Head teachers
