We are in the beautiful historic village of Westham, where we enjoy close links with the local community. All our staff are approachable and happy to help. The school provides a curriculum that is broad and unique. It creates a passion for learning, as well as awe and wonder among the children. Our school vision is at the heart of everything we do at PAWS.
It remains central to our thinking when: At PaWS we have an ambitious vision to work in partnership with families, the church and the wider community to prepare all our children with the knowledge, skills, values and behaviours they will need in order to flourish, reach their potential and enjoy fullness of life .
(John 10:10) Throughout the day at PAWS, our children are encouraged to consider our core Christian values. We celebrate our values in our worships and staff and children talk about how these relate to their actions. Our values were chosen by the whole school community and will support our children in living life in all its fullness :
