About

This school vision, along with our school values of: Generosity, Respect, Agape, Courage and Empathy are interwoven throughout all that we do at Withycombe Raleigh C of E Primary School. We continually aim to make all the opportunities offered to children engaging and motivating and we seek to develop, in all of our pupils, a lifelong love of learning.

As a school, we endeavour to promote happiness and mental wellbeing in all individuals, developing all children physically, mentally and spiritually. We have an emphasis and reputation for successes in academic attainment and on the sports field and we aim for every child to reach their full potential whatever their starting point.

Our curriculum is designed in a way that creates opportunities to develop not only academic skills and knowledge but also the physical and emotional health of our pupils, preparing them for life beyond primary school. We have designed a broad and balanced school curriculum, using a theme-based approach to deliver subjects which inspire and engage.

Teachers plan lessons that are skilfully matched and differentiated to the children's different stages of development and which build on their previous knowledge and skills.
