Welcome to Wootey Infant School

We are delighted to share with you some of the things which make Wootey Infant School such as special place. In our school we uphold three core values:

• Happiness
• Respect
• Creativity

Everyone in our school community makes sure that these Core Values underpin everything that we do.

Our Learning (Curriculum) Policy describes how our School Values of Happiness, Respect and Creativity are the driving force of everything we do at Wootey Infant School.

Personalised learning at Wootey Infant School

Each child is unique, all children need to be interested and engaged in order to learn. At Wootey, children are given lots of opportunities to make choices about their learning. Our highly skilled staff support each child to enquire, investigate and discover through stimulating topics and to delight in sharing their new learning with others. Each topic is supported by visitors to the school or educational visits, for example, visiting London for our “Fire-Fire” topic, or a seaside visit to make sure that children experience learning first-hand whenever possible.

It is our responsibility to teach children to achieve well academically, personally and socially. All children have individual learning targets for reading, writing and mathematics.

Children with Special Educational Needs are supported with Individual Educational Plans. Children are encouraged to celebrate their skills and are challenged to meet exciting targets.

Each term you will have an opportunity to speak to your child’s teacher about progress. Of course you are welcome to make an appointment to talk to the staff at any time and our open classroom doors in the morning mean that you can catch up about small matters very easily.
