Wigmore School Academy Trust WIGMORE NURSERY WIGMORE PRIMARY About Us Learning Beyond the Classroom Pupil Zone Gallery WIGMORE HIGH SCHOOL Welcome to Wigmore Primary School Wigmore Primary School is a vibrant, stimulating and safe environment in which to learn. Our children are polite, behave well, work hard and enjoy their learning. Because of this, children flourish and make excellent progress, as evidenced last year by the letter of commendation we received from School’s Minister Nick Gibb for the exceptional progress of students at Key Stage 2. We welcome children between the ages of 4 and 11, including many from our integrated Nursery facility. The school has capacity to teach 30 children in each year group as a single class supported by a teacher and support assistant, but many classes are smaller than this allowing for considerable personalisation and one to one time. Our dedicated staff team are committed to providing a happy, safe and engaging environment that allows our children to succeed and our on-site Head of School is always on hand to support learning and liaise with parents over issues. We encourage children to be inquisitive learners, who value their achievements and respect everyone in our learning community and have well-developed systems to support our children’s emotional development and well-being. Although our end of key stage outcomes are significantly above national averages, we are proud of the fact that we are not a test factory. The children succeed because they are taught well by qualified, dynamic teachers working in partnership with families to put the children’s interests and development at the heart of everything they do. Lessons are fun, interesting and challenging. We ensure that the children have full access to a broad curriculum with sufficient time spent on a number of curriculum areas, including sport, music, drama and languages. As well as taking part in daily sessions of English and maths, the children develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in other subjects through a topic approach to learning. Classroom teaching is complemented by themed days, visitors to school, special events, learning outdoors, and regular trips out of school. In Key Stage 2 we introduce the opportunities for residential activities. Year 3 have a sleepover in school and year 4 visit Oaker Wood for an outdoor adventure. Our year 5 and 6 students travel further afield with a residential trip to York as well as visiting a town or city in France. This helps develop their independence, ready for secondary school. The Primary School is fortunate to have full access to specialised facilities at the High School, such as workshops, science labs, a food technology room, a sports hall and IT rooms. The children become very familiar with the High School as they have many opportunities to work with High School staff and pupils, as well as visiting the site on a regular basis. When the children reach Key Stage 2, they benefit from specialist subject teaching by teachers from the High School in French, science, design and technology, music, computer science and physical education. All our children are encouraged to take an active part in school life. We are renowned in the area for our sporting prowess and compete successfully in a range of sports. Opportunities are provided throughout the school year for our children to perform on stage and the excellent quality of our productions is frequently commented on. The school offers a comprehensive programme of clubs that (in normal times) take place every evening throughout the term. If you would like to find out more about life at Wigmore then please give us a call. The senior team would be happy to facilitate a tour of our schools.
