Wardley CE is a thriving one form entry primary school. We are very lucky to have a strong and dedicated staff group who are passionate about the quality of the education they provide. We believe that primary education is more than just academic achievement. We aim to foster a love of learning in our children that they will carry through their life.
We also place a strong emphasis on ensuring an ethical ethos and strong values system permeates everything we do. We hope that you will see from our website and policies that we provide a well thought through curriculum and a consistent and cohesive teaching approach within a creative, friendly and safe Christian environment.
All our endeavours are concentrated on our core purpose: to provide the very best primary education for all of our children and all that that entails. ' We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us'
