In January 2008 the Woodlands Federation was created by the federation of two schools: Broad Oak Community Primary School and Punnetts Town Community Primary School. In September 2014 Dallington Church of England Primary School joined Woodlands Federation, creating a three-school federation. Unfortunately, following an area review by East Sussex County Council, Broad Oak Community Primary School closed on 31 st August 2020. The federation is once more a two-school federation.
