About Woodley

Woodley has been named in the top 20 UK towns to bring up a family by Family Friendly Hotspots Report from Family Investments* due to low crime rates and schools with excellent Key Stage 2 and GCSE results. Historically it was second home to Henry Addington, Speaker of the House of Commons and then Prime Minister. It was not until the 1930’s when it came to prominence due to the establishing of an airfield and flying school. Woodley was home to the production of the Miles Hawk aeroplane until the 1960’s.
