It is with great pride that I welcome you to Woodchester C of E Primary School, a warm and loving village school situated in the heart of beautiful North Woodchester. Our schools Christian vision, Love, Learn and Flourish Together , is rooted in our belief that we are all unique individuals loved by God coming together within our school community.
Our strong Christian values and links with St Mary's Church are at the core of our school. Our six Christian values (generosity, friendship, forgiveness, hope, trust and courage) underpin the way we live and learn together at Woodchester.
