At Wouldham All Saints Church of England Primary School we strive to live out all of the above – everyday! We aim to set our learners free, open minds and foster independence and fully recognise that a 'set' curriculum can constrain and restrict and so we work hard to avoid this.
Our purposeful and ambitious curriculum, combined with high quality teaching and flexibility, ensures that children are led to be well rounded, empathetic young people who have a genuine passion for learning and enabled to live life in all its fullness.
Children need to Fly HIGH which summarises our school mission to …
- Be HAPPY to be God's special children
- Strive to be IMPROVING all of the time
- Work hard at being GOOD at communicating
- With HIGH expectations of ourselves and each other
We 'make our best our standard' – pushing for excellence in all things.
At Wouldham All Saints Church of England Primary School we strive to enjoy our learning and make it as much fun and as meaningful and relevant to everyday life as possible. Great learning is highly memorable.
We provide a safe, calm, creative, inclusive and stimulating learning environment. Every child is recognised and valued as an individual – with interests, abilities and backgrounds that are unique. Teachers identify, support and capitalise on these qualities through their planning and selection of learning activities, involving each child as they journey together.
Being a Church of England school drives our Christian values of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control which permeates all that we do – both in learning about ourselves and the wider world in which we live.
We are fortunate at Wouldham All Saints Church of England to have a modern, spacious learning environment. This is respected and used by all in school and we aim, through our curriculum, to foster respect for our world, and how we should care for it for the benefit of future generations, as well as our own.
Inviting classroom environments stimulate and support individuals as passionate learners – enabling independence, enquiry and creativity.
The curriculum is hung upon a contextual hook (aka our theme) which has been mapped in detail to ensure effective coverage, practice, application and transfer of skills – See it, Nail it, Use it and Move it! These themes change at least termly. The thematic approach allows the school to develop strong, memorable and meaningful learning across curriculum subjects.
All learning is routinely acknowledged and celebrated.
We embrace child initiated learning as well as learning beyond the classroom and school site. Activities to enrich and support learning go well beyond the classroom and include visits, community engagement, Forest School, library visits, cultural activities as well as visitors and specialists coming into the school.
We carefully structure activities that teach 'all of the children' and 'all of the child'.
