HISTORY OF WOOD GREEN HIGH SCHOOL: The school was formed in 1968 by the amalgamation of Wednesbury Boy's High School (1924) and Wood Green County Secondary Modern School (1963). The original buildings have had extensive additions. The 1970's saw an Administration Block opened in 1971, containing a Library and Lecture Theatre, a practical wing with an Art Suite, Technology workshops and Textile room, and a Music Suite. More recently a Sixth Form Centre (years 12/13) and Computer Centres have been added.

THE READING ROOM, funded by a generous donation from the Old Wodens - "old boys" of the school, was opened in 1993. Our long-awaited Sports Hall was built in 1995. New mobile classrooms were also provided to cater for the increasing number of pupils. These developments, together with modifications to the existing buildings to upgrade accommodation for Science, Food Technology and Drama mean that the school is well equipped in all departments. From September 1998 Wood Green High School became a specialist Sports College.
