Wiki tells me this...

Education

Primary education is provided by Ampertaine Primary School that educates around 100 pupils. A 'Short Inspection' by the Education and Training Inspectorate in September 2009 described the overall quality of the teaching as "good or very good" and arrangements for pastoral care in the school as "very good".[4] In February 2014 the school adopted Aston Villa F.C., who play in the school colours of claret and blue, as the focus of an educational initiative.[5]

No - I'm a primary teacher, but you're right about Woodhey sporting the colours. I'm at Old Hall. What I will do, though, is make sure that the next time the school football kit needs replacing it is claret body and blue sleeves.
